Today's work area
We are finally getting round to working on this side on the conversion. 

The right pic, was the last of the work, we done on this side, as the boards were in the way!.
The Left pic, did at least get it's 1st wash..

Wiped down and ready for the sound deadening patches, when it is dry.

Meanwhile, I get on with finishing adding the sound deadening patches were they are needed.

Lynne AS USUAL IS DOING A GREAT JOBS, WASHING THESE PANELS DOWN!

They are not taking long to dry now, as what we have insulated so far has dried out the air somewhat and it's now a lot warmer inside as well.

We have not have to have the heater on for a week now :) :) 

First job we do is to insulate the wheel arch.
As we had run out of the handy sized patches, today's black insulator is all on a roll, so we have to cut it down to manageable sizes.
But it was quite a bit cheaper than the rectangular patches, and was starting to feel the strain on the bank balance, so every penny saved, keeps the project rolling on. 

The 1st 2 areas are given there 1st layer on insulation

That's the whole side insulated with the 1st layer...

In goes a double layer of DODO sound reducer & insulation

Lynne n me discussing our next moves and ideas as we both chill for 5 mins

We get the original board and slide it into place.
What we had not noticed on removing it, was that someone has but a section off it, so the board is now not tall enough!

We are gonna have a serious think about it whilst we go in for Dinner..
