After finishing with activities week today and with the help of Olly Rees, I managed to get the majority of the van furniture finished. All I need now are a shelf and doors for the kitchen unit, fit the cooker/sink and to get the soft furnishings in.

Today I got the flooring done as well as finishing off the outstanding wheel arch and metal work around the windows. Daisy has inspected the floor and says it is comfortable as long as she has her blanket.

Having spent a good few nights in the van now I though I should progress with the conversion. I have already had windows put in and today although somewhat shattered from the last few days, I made most of the sunny evening and carpeted inside. Just one wheel arch and some finishing off to do. I have ordered the floor so that will be next weeks job.

Daisy "helping out"  All finished and back together So after having owned the van for 2 weeks I finally got round to starting the process of turning it into a luxury home from home. The main job today was insulation which involved taking the bulkhead and all the ply lining out, putting a layer of insulation in and then putting it all back. A lot more time consuming that expected. Next job of changing the broken cup holders involved taking out half of the lower dash with hidden clips and screws everywhere. Some chrome styling and handles stuck on to make the outside look a bit more bling. She is going in for some extra windows and split charging system next week and then I can crack on with the carpeting and a few other jobs. Fortunately Diasy was on hand to help out sleep in the sun and occasionally get in the way.
