front of the van


the front of the van has slotted in nicely. the girls are sitting on an ikea bed that doubles as a sofa. the draws under the sink was got street shopping across the road. the shelves at the foot of the bed was an old bookcase that i cut in half. mind you attaching it to the van was a pain in the arse cos there's no room to get any tools into the gap. dont know what to do about the gap above the drawers under the sink!
maybe i could make some kind of storage box. cut down a drawer. but we'll see, i suppose i should leave it until we start filling the van with gear and see what kind of extra storage we will need.
mind you there is still a lot of work that needs doing. and i have just been informed that 'we' will be needing fly screens on the windows...only slight problem, there are only 4 full frames for the 9 that are needed. as they are light weight frames, i dont suppose we'll be able to street shop for those...but you never know

looking pretty good

flooring is in, painting done, though i have to find the missing drawer handle. windows still have to be done. now thats it has stopped raining, i supose i now have no excuse.



frig and what will be the kitchen bench are in. they fit with room to spare - 280mm, in the area that used to be the single bunks. our bed just needs a base and matress and that is all ready to go,  gonna do some more street shopping to find a double bed base. got power from the kitchen via an extension cord, through the cupboard, under the bed and up around the back. bed size will allow a cabnet/shelf or what ever at the foot of the bed.
