Just to remind me ....

How far I have got

 Outside she is looking great.  Still to do >>>  another layer of bitumen all round with extra at the back that I haven't been able to start on yet. Waiting for some cutting and welding to be done.  2 more brass mushrooms on the roof. chimney lid. Silicone round the windows (but cant do that until the wood paneling is found/measured/cut/fitted ... so that will be a while !!) 

Inside is quite cosy now carpet down and its been a delight just sit with feet up and a cuppa tea listening to  radio 4 and ignoring the next lot of things to be done....

I even dozed orf trying out the 'sofa bed'. It has a single mattress under the cushions and is comfy enough for me ...... the sink is just visible half way down on the right. Found a good condition small ceramic butler ( or is it Belfast?), probably from a school lab. anyway for 25 quids its a great buy.
Beyond the fire, the rear half, will be good for workspace when I start on the plumbing and internal woodwork 

HOWEVER the engine compartment still needs a lot of work before the engine can be installed. I think it might be wise to check out how to make a new back deck because this one is plate steel and I certainly won't be able to budge them once they are back down .... much thought is going to have to be put into all this bit ... Hm 






But for now am giving her a rest and catching up on a bit of gardening at home. The next post will be getting her measured up for her new covers, fore n aft, from the very helpful Ian of Kinver Canopies, Kinver. Looking forward to that, there really is only so much I can do now and it will be great to sit back a while.... 

and just to remind me how the engine sounded when she was first started up, here's the video Ha Ha
Oh what fun ...
