Well nothing else has been actually done still, this weekend I am aiming to crack on and get a lot of stuff sorted, but the preparation seems to be going on and on.
The battery has turned up, went for a Lucas 120 amp leisure battery in the end, I was looking at the 180 amp ones, but when I saw the physical size of the battery was around half a meter long, I thought it was going to be a tad too big for where it was going.
Also got the 12v Wii lead for when we take the Wii away !
Rich told me to get the garage consumer unit from screwfix for the electric hookup, at £38, before I went ahead I had a quick look round ebay and found one that had a best offer on it, new stock, it was at £16.99 buy now which was way cheaper anyway, the seller settled for £15 plus postage, so looking at around half the price screwfix wanted, so am pleased about that. Should be nice and safe now.
Got the blue carpet I needed to finish the interior, only I didnt, the auction said Bright Blue, unfortunately its not as bright as the carpet I have already used, its quite a bit darker, so am going to have to order some more from the original seller, he didnt have any when I looked earlier in the week, should have waited I guess and seen if he listed some, but on the auction it looked just the same. Not to worry. I can use the darker carpet to line the wooden boards that will top the seats.
Talking of the seats, have decided to make the fixed seat out of wood, and the converting seat from a wooden base with a metal frame top and a metal pull out frame to convert to a bed. Picked up most of the metal today, but the smaller size i needed to fit inside the main stuff, they ordered round tubing instead of square, so have to pick that up wednesday, so cutting it fine, but still doable. Bought the wood from B&Q earlier, they are doing a special deal on some, about £3 off per length, bought enough for both seats, and then 4 extra lengths in case i decide to build the tall cupboard myself.
Oh I fixed the awning rail to the front of the carport tonight to see what the awning was like, its very good and gives a good amount of coverage, was pretty big on the carport, will be very big for the van, give plenty of shelter or shade, only problem was I fixed it too low so the leg rest point has nothing to sit against, will fix it higher tomorrow. Will try and get the van rail fixed on tomorrow too, looking forward to seeing what it looks like on that.
Thats all for now, hopefully be a few pics of my progress over the weekend, so make sure you come back and check :).
