Hi Folks.............
Bit out of sorts yesterday and what I got done reflects that.
But we knew I could not keep the progress we made on Saturday & Sunday for a 3rd day in a row.
Maybe in time, maybe not, it is something I try not to worry about anymore.
Updated - Jobs pencilled in till Sunday
Ok we did not get everything done last week, so for now, I will not add any new jobs to last weeks list...
Well not quiet !! as a few jobs are pencilled in that involve me & the transit heading back over to Kev's workshop for more things to be done..

15. Kev's workshop - If time and funds allow, get water tanks installed underneath and plumbed into the back. (have some funds available but I know it will not be enough!)
Double Bonus job, to have worked out and cut the bed frame & have it mounted!
The list above, may not look as if much has been done, but several jobs are getting near completion and hopefully will be deleted by the end of this week.
Ready for some new jobs to be added.
I will be ringing Ken up today and hopefully, we will get a day when I can drive over and get the roof rack fitted and hopefully the under floor water tanks fitted, is the bonus job.
If Ken will allow me to hook up to his electric, I can carry on in the back whilst Ken is doing his jobs.
So hoping to be able to get something done at least...

I just need to get the bathroom door made to install this holder onto it...
Straame Silicone Toilet Brush and Holder Set with No-Slip Long Plastic Handle & Soft Flexible Bristles - Base for Anti-Drip - Wall Mounted Brush - Deep Cleaning (White 1 Pack) - Amazon
I am not 100% sure where this will live in the bathroom, it can sit on the floor or it can be mounted on the wall.
But as the bathroom is still not finished, we can worry about that later on...

Was in my safe place when I woke up, just in time as I had run out on Sunday, so I can now get more of the van's metal insulated.
I managed to get the black insulation rolls into the transit, where they can sit and acclimatise for a day or so.
To get these into the transit, I have to use a shopping bag and hang it off my walking sticks..
The front does not need another coat of paint.
Unfortunately the top does!
If I remember to bring a paint brush into the transit,
I will give it another coat, last thing tonight.
panel clips, only 50 so far, I expect to need more later on.
Time to pull out the threaded nut clips, as they only going to waist here.
I may have a use for them elsewhere, if not will be SOLD off
If I can find a couple of large rivets will add them on this bracket,
as with just 1 it is very weak..
And all the threaded nut clips are removed...
I know I will be able to re-use these, just a few at the moment.
I stand up the old original board, that Lynne n me modified to fit & and painted over the weekend
From the box of silver insulation bits,
that we got from the workshop.
I select an off-cut that is close to the size I need.
The back of the board is wiped down with a Tak cloth,
and laid down on the work m8.
Due to lack of space, this is gonna have to be done in 2 halves..
mmmmmmm
It say's do not shake the can !!
And I have spay glued the half nearest me,
I have also sprayed half of the insulation,
and after 5 mins m8 the 2 together and carefully work them together
I have turned the board around and spray glued both items and mated them together.
Time for a forced break and to let this dry...
I turn the board over
And with the aid of a sharp blade, I soon have the excess insulation cut away..
I offer the board up, so it is ready to be clipped into place.
I find the new clips, but I cannot find a 7mm or 7.5mm drill bits.
So will have to wait till tomorrow, so I can have a good look around for one.
I give the bathroom raised floor another coat of paint.
I hope that is the last one!
But we will not know until tomorrow.
And with what is left on the brush,
I start to give the bottom battery frame it's 1st coat of paint..
I am pee'd of with myself.
I lost a lot of time, because my body demanded sleep!
and when I finally managed to get into the transit, I did not feel like doing anything, it all just seemed to be too much to do.
So A gentle day, just pottering around, finally held up,
because I need to figure out any wiring that needs to be fed thru the insulated panel and where the sockets need to go, plus what type of sockets are required.
The painting of the bathroom floor should be almost finished now, so I can get back on with other things in there.
