Ok, wanting this done by the end of the week for when we go away, I decided to get cracking this afternoon on the lining, in usual style I started with the hardest part, the window side, actually it went easier than I thought, thanks to Martin's guide, he was dead right when he said to spray some adhesive at the top first and hang the carpet up and work down, it was so much easier, you can see this in the first pic. Sorry about the quality of the pictures, I took them in low light on my mobile phone, didnt want to get spray adhesive on my slr camera :). Anyway, worked my way along, and the window itself really wasnt much of a problem, the adhesive I used, the Evo Stik one that Screwfix do, really is sticky ! What I trimmed off the bottom half in the first pic, was actually enough to do the opposite side too, so I have plenty of yellow over, I bought 6 meters of that, still have the roof to do, but will do it easily, thinking maybe I can find another use for it during the build. I bought 8 meters of the blue, but that is going to be covering the bottom of the seating and cupboards too, even so I think I'll have some of that left over as well. I did start using the blue as you can see from the pics, managed to get the back end done, and it starts to show how the 2 colours will work together, as I said very bright ! :) Nice and cheerful though, and there wont be another like it I guarantee ! :) Hoping to get some more done tomorrow, have now made up my mind to go get some more wood for the back side panels before I carpet them, having gotten wet and damp in the shed over the years, then dried out, the plywood has become very brittle and the slightest bend snaps it, not really what I want to be putting £100 worth of carpet on ! So another job to get on with. It never seems to end, but I am looking forward to seeing it all done :)

Hi, I know it was a while ago, but do you remember where you got the blue carpet from? :-)
