The Countdown begins

The Christmas holidays are coming up, and Dan and I both have it off. We are going to have a working spree on the truck. I have arranged the use of Jaco's workshop, tools and possible some much apreciated advise. We are aming to complete the exterior. That is alot of work. We need to build the new luton and paint the exterior. To get it ready for painting we first need to finish the lockers, move the windows and build the new luton.

I have had to work out all the materials I require as most of the suppliers are closed over the holiday period. Today I signed the order for the new windows. This is a new window for the bedroom/luton and one for the bathroom. I found Fairview Aluminium very helpful and well priced.

The Countdown begins, I'll keep you posted.

End of an era

Today I sold the van. Goodbye Fred! It has been fun. We have been a fair few places, never had any major issues and had heaps of fun. However it had to go to make way for the truck project. It is money to be used on the truck and if we have time to go away in the van we have time to work on the truck.

I bought the van of a backpacker and refitted it and cleaned it up.
Here are a few pics of how I bought it followed buy how it is now.








Good-bye Fred.
