Terry's Self Build Relay

[Terry]

Update -Nothing has been touched since the last update I have been promised the doors on last Monday, Wednesday and Thursday/Friday but still have not got them -I managed to source some grey carpet to change from the blue but not even got motivated to even pull the blue off so nothing has been done but we have got lots done on Paul's van in the 3 days we have worked on it see Paul's boxer thread http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/pauls-self-build-boxer.111023/#post-1463670

I have doors Picked them up friday night but worked on Paul's boxer all day Saturday and a couple of hours today -But then we did 4 hours on the relay and got some cover trims done finished sealing the loo/shower -Paul wired up my outside light and then we cracked on and hung all the doors and drawer fronts only leaving 5 handles and catches on the upper cupboards for me to finish on Monday/tues/weds if I find time All in all perfectly usable so I can start and put some stuff into cupboards etc once the catches are on --Got to get a microwave and fit it in then Paul has got to make one of the 12v sockets permanently live for me to charge phone etc -at the moment they only come on with ignition -Now got to see if O'leary's have the waste water tanks in yet if not I am thinking of putting a simple 5 gallon tank /drum on each side of the van for sink and shower waste -means either coupling them together or two empting taps
Redone the foam in the rear cushions from High density to reflex foam -it's a little softer to lay on -Trouble is now my garage is getting full of foam cushions

Can't wait to see it Terry but gawd knows when we will get to another meet .....
Well done anyway

 

[Terry]

It looks all finished but I am going to box in under both driver and passenger seats and I cannot make my mind up as to box in the slide bed bit -Think I will do it and see if I like it If not I'll think of something else after all I have done most of the van twice so why stop at a little boxing in

Update -Tuesday I spent about 5 hrs on the van and got all the upper locker handles /catches on,then boxed in the pull across bed frame in I need to point out that I used a hand screwdriver and not a battery drill on the catches/stays etc 8 x 6 in total It was pointed out to me last night by Paul that I have a small Bosch drill on my kitchen W.Top for just such occasions Daft thing is I move it almost daily
Anyway another first this morning I have wired (yes me)up a light or should that be 3? No doubt Paul will laugh bit you turn each light on and off and they all work (nothing to this wiring lark)simply connect wires to wires and it's done Paul tells me it's the knowing which wires go together so on that bit of info I will go back to leaving wires to him -After this coffee break I am going to start clearing out the van ready to pack for H/Pool
