    Fitting skirtings

    I agree, scribe internal and mitre external. Far neater and stable finish. That was the way I've been taught by a time served shop fitter....

    Pontoon posts?

    Is the jetty in salt or freshwater? Greenheart would traditionally be used in coastal locations for this kind of structure although oak sleepers would probably be fine in freshwater.

    Flat roof for workshop?

    2/3rds gate
