16th February 2023 - Disco Transit Green Long Wheel base and Hi Roof Conversion

A steady day today.

Lynne n Michael managed to get the 2 x 8x4 foot 3 ply sheets out from the workshop, so we could carry on panelling. 

All we have worked on today was panelling the bathroom wall and when we finished we are about 4" from were it needs to be..

I knew it was gonna be a tough job to do, but I had kinda hoped it would have been done and screwed into place by the end of the day.

But that was not meant to be.

Tomorrow I am on my own, as Lynne n Zoe are going to hair dressers and lunch n stuff together, so I do not know what I will get on with tomorrow.

The day started out with Lynne N Michael going down the workshop and they managed to get the 2 8x4 foot 3 ply sheets out and into the van :) :)

Which means we can get more done to the bathroom ... 

The 2 8x4 feet 3ply sheets, Lynne n Michael brought up from the workshop for me..
I AM GONNA HAVE TO HAVE A TIDY UP,

So we can get inside the transit and do some work.

Some 30 mins later, I have had a move around and managed to get the 3 ply boards against the 9mm boards, and leave us room to work in.

I have tied up the loose wires, as we will be working in the bathroom again today.
In fact we will be in here all day long and possibly again tomorrow as well.

Seems kinda naked as we have removed the sink and put it away whilst we work on the wall.

We are marking the 1st sheet of 3 ply to get the rough lines and we will trim it in place.

so we mark the board and sand or if it's a lot use the jigsaw,

but some 3 hours later and we are down to about 4" away from it's final position, but the cutting n sanding are still going ahead without any pause till 4pm when my moby & kindle go off telling us its time for my Med's.
