Lucy is poorly!

Well she is now off the road again with a busted clutch!! I reckon she can stay parked up for a while now and will get the clutch done after xmas, then its a little more work for next summer and (Touch wood) a great summer of exploring!!

Lucy went for her MOT yesterday...

Failed on a few things,
Wheel bearing
Tyre
Exhaust
Wipers
Brake pipes
Seatbelts
Bit of welding under the front steps

I reckon about £300 to get right, just what we needed as plan to go away next week for a few days, but as she has cost us about £150 in total so far i reckon its not to bad....

We have light!!

All the 12v lights are now wired into the control panel, just need to add the water pump now, i purchased one of ebay that has a microswitch built into it, will post some pics soon...

At last the grouting is done! Was really not looking forward to this part, but it wasnt to bad really..

We now have a cooker cover and table!!

Still loads to do though!

All dressed up!

Lucy gets some carpet, went up easier than i thought!!

Tiles!

Bit of tiling done, just need to finish it off and the grout, then its tap and the cooker cover and the kitchen is all done!

Carpet the walls and flooring next!

Little bit more work!

Did some more work on the kitchen area, lus hung some curtains Donna made!

Not a great deal done this weekend as we spent a day at the beach!

Drilled my first hole though the side of Lucy, very nervous! This is for the outside light from the caravan.

Also fitted the gas pipe from the kitchen area and run it down under the seats, though the back wall and built a nice little shelf for the bottle to sit on, padded it with some rubber strips i found at work so the bottle sits nicely and doesnt move to much, just need to fit a ratchet strap now round the bottle fixing it to the wall to keep it nice and safe.

Also fitted the hookup, and all the 240v main sockets are in place.

The camera ran out of batteries so will take some pics of the finished light, gas pipework and the hookup with mains wiring and post soon....

Starting the cupboards!















Kitchen is an adapted side unit from the Caravan. The cooker will sit in here behind a cupboard door.







Looking down towards the back we see the seating area which can sleep three with ease! And then the bunk above can sleep either one adult or two children.














The second seating area!













Taking 5...




























Capped off after insulation fitted, no chance of heat loss through the windows.
