April...
Well all the little jobs have been done now in the bathroom we have finally covered the little box and made the frame for the window ,the next job will be to fit the blind ,I have sealed the shower tray now and tested the tray for leaks ,all the drains have now been run and the tap has been wired up for the sink ,this works a treat, we still need to fit a non return valve in the water line from the pump to stop it running back to the holding tank.
We have made a small shelf which has been fitted above the toilet this has been covered and now been fitted .
The wife has taken all the doors and drawer fronts off rubbed them down and gave them 2 coats of satin stain they have taken the stain well and look very nice ,the wardrobe door has been cut and fitted it looks good considering how much time it took to get right .
We have also covered the rear doors and now need to fit the rear curtain to the door ,I still need to make a track for this.
Both doors have been finally bolted back on the van and with a bit of luck wont be coming off for a good while , we applied the rear door decals this week and fitted the number plate and rear bumper .

All the curtains have now been fitted and tie backs made these have been fitted to the van ,the tracks need a bit of a clean as the curtains keep sticking when closed . We have also trial fitted the table this is stored away when not in use and needs to be stained and an edge trim fitted we even had out dinner in there today to try it out!!!
I have also managed to paint the drivers door this was probably the worst panel on the van when we got it ,it has been sprayed and now needs a good buffing to remove some of the dirt in the paint I will give it a couple of weeks to harden off but I am pleased with the result considering I'm a novice with the spray gun.
I've also fitted a new lower hinge as this was badly worn and while the door was off gave it a good wax oiling inside .

What a cracking weekend its been with glorious sunshine so we managed to get the drivers side of the van T cutted in preparation for the decals which we bought earlier.
what a boring job that was but it had to be done ,a trail fit of the sticker then time to apply it ,I chose to fit them wet as its easier and as it was nice and sunny they soon dried on the van .we also applied a black stripe down the side and along the top of the roof .

I have now started to clean the other side of the van and hopefully if the weathers nice next weekend will be able to fit the remaining decals .
I am now working in the cab tidying up all the wiring so the panel can be fitted,I need to run a few wires up to the dash for the radio ,I plan to have this working from the leisure battery so it wont flatten the van battery when being used for any length of time. At the same time I will fit the reverse sensor display
