I am at the moment refurbishing an old WBC hive and was wondering about the pros and cons of using Sterling/OSB for parts such as the roof parts inside of the metal roof and the floor (with OMF cutout).
Another thought was would it be strong and durable enough to make extra lifts from rather than using ply, the lifts will be painted.
Another question is about fixing the roof metals, they will be trapped along the peak by a strip of wood, but what would be the best adhesive to fix it to the wooden roof sheets, I'd like to avoid nailing through the metal if possible.
