sorry fella
opp5:sorry2::youbetcha: :fatbuddha: :fatbuddha: :fatbuddha:
I was joking about not getting motivated 
but have enjoyed some of the YT links:thumb:
got it all cut etc then turned it over only to find a couple of big scratch marks on the face of it 
(note to self check both sides before marking and cutting)Just need to make the door fronts for it and the knock in edging Nothing fixed just yet as Paul and I will need to get to do the plumbing and Paul the wiring so they can all dismantle for easy access -- once fitted we can get access but it's still easier without a unit to get inside of 
oh: You are right but they only had left hand sinks, plus I got 40 quid off Also the cooker bit is almost 6 ins deep with the igniter -hangs straight down instead of along hence the deep holes for door/drawer I have had to get a narrow combi unit so that I can get a extra 4 ins on the bed width -- bit of a trade off but extra bed width will be better (I think)
Transit's,oh: don't I just love them
He even trusted me connecting the mains into the van :thumb:
oh: so now I have to make new work top before the sink/cooker can be fitted This will be done again tomorrow -would have done it today but it's blowing a hoolie out in the yard.as soon as I put anything down on the bench it blows off so will tackle stuff later when the wind dies down - don't fancy trying to cut and glue w/top in the wind--got gas pipes all in place along with wires for fridge and boiler/heater all fixed in position,even got 5 spot lights wired in - -needs all water sorting later in the week so will order some bits we are short and some piping :thumb:then make final gas connections just before Paul makes the final wire connections Sort of one step forward and one step back
Charged both LB AND VAN BATTERY as both were showing low on the Sargent unit :thumb: but used one of my independent chargers because all the 240v side of things have not had there final connection -- Went out and bought a load of both 15mm and 10 mm connecters ready for the water side of things only for me to realize that most fittings are 12mm after I got home oh:- have got plenty of spares now for home jobs (about £60 worth to be precise) Will have to track down some 12mm stuff now -going back to Magnums and Oleary's on Wednesday- could manage at either one but Magnums have light oak 12 mm t knock in edging and O'learys owe me £160 for stuff that I paid for and did not load onto truck -I thought they had put it on and they thought I had put it on
Hi Phil forgot to say this stuff is not like the old Formica, it's not shinny,rough to touch,(rather than smooth)quite easy to cut (a few scours with a Stanley knife) does not show marks,and best of all it was less than £50 for a 8 ft x 4 ft sheet

next job seeing as I was in there I cut and fitted the plastic shelves type bits and while in there did all the edge sealing so now all that's needed is to screw the loo in position once someone turns up to hold in place while I SCREW IT DOWN :thumb:oh
to add to the 40 I bought a few weeks back will finish the bed today then Julie can order the foam ready for the cushions :thumb:
i want to sell this first then search around -who knows I MAY HAVE A TRIP DOWN YOUR WAY IN-BETWEEN VANS --the only thing i know is it will not be a transit --been offered a 61 plate master 40 odd k miles but I fear it it will come in at above 20k which may well prove too rich for some -meanwhile I AM LOOKING AT FIAT STABLE VANS :thumb:so doing my homework on prices and whats out there Meanwhile I have done all the knock in edging and completed the bed so now I may start and hang a few doors or mow the grass and vac the house to get rid of all the sawdust that blew everywhere yesterday- I vac-ed last night but it was back when I got up this morning Sat on computer is not helping the decision
---NO GOOD I MUST INVEST IN A NEW KEYBOARD(bloody caps sticking) And borrow my mates small battery drill
thanks but no thanks -there is a couple hiding in the garage that were next to useless 20 yrs ago -you need 2 pairs of hands one to hold what you are screwing in place another to hold the flex head onto the screw and another to operate the battery drill then another to try and stop the flex trying to un-whirl it's self when the screw starts to tighten he borrows my stuff all the time -in fact he brought one of my electric planes back 2 weeks ago that he has had for above 5 yrs I know this because I could not find it and I blamed my son (who's been dead for 5 yrs come May)for not returning it so he when and bought me a replacement because he could not find it 
) while Paul got all the electrics done leaving just 2 loo lights and the leccy flush to wire up -everything tried and tested -all working - all gas done just leaving onboard fresh water tank to fit under the bed.I also remade the sink.cooker front yet again so we can now put a false floor in to cover pump/etc and use the cupboard under neath for storage :thumb: started to hang cupboard doors and catches/stays taking me aprox 20 mins each -I can fit/hang house doors faster and I am still using a hand screwdriver oh: oh: Oh forgot we have (Paul) has to wire in a relay for the fridge It works etc just needs the relay -he just stuck the wires together to make sure he had it all wired correctly since the only wiring diagram we have had is for the loo
but today progress since I last posted around 3 1/2 hours ago -I have made a 3ft x 4ft 90degree pattern for my mate to use on his garage brickwork (starts in the morning) and fitted 4 doors with catches :Tongue1: All the doors except the two not made yet are now on ,swinging and closing including my bi-fold loo door :thumb:
it was raining until about 1.30 pm and at 2pm I decided I would go in and put some handles on doors but as soon as I opened the van door I got a phone call -could I just do a favor ?oh: so shut the door and duly did the running around - anyway cooking my dinner now so nothing done in the van :Sad:and it's too late to start now Join us or log in to post a reply.
