Double Bonus job, to have worked out and cut the bed frame & have it mounted!
Before we start on the conversion today, we are having a huge tidy up, so that not only will we be able to find stuff easier, but also so nothing will move or fall over tomorrow, on our way to Ken's workshop.
Whilst we are at it, we have noticed we are loosing a lot of time, trying to find stuff, so as we compact items into the boxes, we have
numbered them and made a note in our scribble book, as to what is in each box.
Box 2 is now full up.
Box 3 is full up as well.
That is all the boxes done for now.
After Tuesday, Hopefully we can move more stuff from Lynne's Kitchen into the van...
Just some of the bits we have been looking for over the weekend!.
Now it is time to tidy up the rear of the transit,
Not made easy, with the bathroom front frame in my way, but there is nothing I can do about it, so carefully bend over it is..............
Hopefully I can clear this area, so I can get on with the kitchen carcass that I have to cut about to go over the wheel arch..
now it looks as if we are getting somewhere, now Lynne has joined me..
Starting to make headway here as well...
Now the bit we are both dreading, clearing the kitchen surface!
It does take us a while, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end..
Our 1st job today is to remove the grill area that is under the cooker.
Besides needing a bloody good clean, its all broken and some of the panels are loose!
Lynne is busy with the staple remover, and she soon has these bits off.
I am surprised there is no gasket used ??
But we will give them a good wash n scrub up before we put them back.
We need to cut the gas pipe as the hole at the grill end is too small to allow the nut thru.
So I decide to undo the nuts, but we do not have a spanner that fits, so out comes the angle grinder and cut the joiner off.
And then we can feed the pipe thru
After finding some well hidden staples and nails,
we finally manage to get the grill out.
It's next stage will be to be soaked in hot water, with some chemicals and a good scrub, to get
the grill as clean as possible.
Lynne is busy with the staple remover tool again, this time removing the staples from the grotty back rubber.
We are not sure if we will replace with something similar, or have a look around ans see if we can find something we like instead.
Meanwhile, I remove this frame to make some adjustments.
Lynne is still removing that horrible strip :) :)
The grill as it come out ???
Gonna have to hunt down a video on youtube to see if it is supposed to have seals or not.
The strip has gone and it does not look to bad, I am sure Lynne n me will discuss what gets put back here, when we go searching.
The old stuff Lynne removed.
Thats this baton unscrewed from the frame I made..
and its been cut a couple of inches shorter.
I have moved the bottom baton up 2" and screwed it all back together again
and screw the frame back into the kitchen unit
we also cut a chunk out of the side, so that it clears the wheel arch, but also allows the water pipe work an easy place to sty and easy enough for me to work on it if I have too.
And then we slide the kitchen into the slot it will live in.
We are an 1" away from the kitchen/kitchen wall, as one of the sink mount bolts is in the way.
A job we will look at in a short while.
But 1st we need to strengthen this end of the kitchen unit.
So we add some bracing in, this will also anchor the kitchen to the floor, when we are ready
This end was in a real bad state, but we have braced it added some timber n screws and it is now rock solid.
We are gonna have to scrub the whole unit when we have it in skeleton form to make it ready to sand and be painted.
