Double Bonus job, to have worked out and cut the bed frame & have it mounted!

Lynne has washed the cooker, she still has some more cleaning to see if it can be made to look cleaner. 

Cooker grill and the grill base, have all been washed, but still require more cleaning, before we are ready to put them back in the kitchen unit..

Lynne has been busy with the electric planer, and what a good job she has done :) :) 

I have just got this bit at the top to sand back

And this bit at the bottom as well.

All small jobs, that I will add to my daily list to be done as filler jobs.

We have moved everything from the back into the bathroom for now, as we are gonna be working on this area next

I had forgotten about these 2 water tanks, so they get moved as well.

Lynne is wiping the surfaces down with a Tak cloth

and we get the 1st layer of foam insulation installed

Quickly followed with this panel, but we have run out of these pads.!

We will have a look, to make sure we do not have anymore hidden somewhere.

In goes the DODO sound insulation & Van Insulation 2 layers thick.

We have decided to use the original board, as 97% of the holes all line up.

Painting will be added to my list as a filler job.

We are now at the other side of the van, 
We have moved all the boarding and other timber so it is leaning on the kitchen for now.

None of these areas have been washed and Lynne says she will do tomorrow.

That is also the last of the sound deadening pads.
I will count up tomorrow, to see how many more I need.
