6th March 2023 - Disco Transit Green Long Wheel base and Hi Roof Conversion

Published on 11 March 2023 at 14:00

Hi Folks......................... Let us hope for a better day today................

Last week, was a bad week on progress on the conversion!.

Mainly down to me being to ill to get out of bed for most of it.

So after deleting all the green jobs completed jobs from the above list, there are not at all, as if I am not pottering in the van, than nothing in getting done.

The other issue, was running out of items needed to keep going or even starting on jobs.
and looking at this weeks sales again, it looks like another poor week. 
Which means I am gonna have to be very careful with what we buy.

Sunday was another complete wash out for me and another day spent in bed in agony.
Altho Lynne did let me know that she went into the van and had a bit of a tidy up and got Gay Gordon, giving the place a good sucking too... 

Updated - Jobs pencilled in till Sunday

Boy has this list grown !!

I will delete completed jobs a week after they are finished !
