Evening all, 1st post on the site and its one asking for help!
Our bailey has some dampness issues that I have now traced back to the water inlet for the toilet system.
I have stripped out the bathroom cupboard and the internal bathroom wall. This let me strip the plywood off the external wall. It turns out the polystyrene is bonded to the plywood and external wall. I have removed it all now (as it was black, wet and smelled!) and can see the outside layer from the inside. slight mishap with this but i'll show this later, once the embarrassment has passed!
I would like to replace the bit of wood that runs horizontally and ensure the two parts of the outside layer are sealed but I am unsure what I need to achieve this (apart from a bit of 25 mm x 25 mm wood!) any suggestions?
I am planning out buying a sheet of 3mm plywood and 25 mm polystyrene for the wall repairs. What would you suggest I use to bond the polystyrene to the outer layer and then to the plywood? I guess a non solvent, liquid glue of some description
The floor is also damp and I can push a screwdriver through it so was going to cut out and replace this as well. Does anyone know the thickness? I am guessing it is just plywood? marine / outdoor type?
Thank you
David
