With only a week left till I move into the Bus I moved the battery bank from the van to the bus. Those batteries weigh a tonne but we got it done in a little over 2 hours. It then took me another hour to get the Eura power system back to it’s original format [...]
We got the new blinds today and installed the 2mtr one at the back of the Bus. Kenny cut a new hole in the bus for the boiler which has been moved to the back near the bed area. I then re-installed the flue which was a pain in the whatsit to do. I also [...]
We got the wood for the kitchen unit today and installed this. We also finished the shower and panelled most of the living area. The gas cylinder box has had the top lid hinges removed and the lid screwed down. The front of the box is now the only access. The box has been moved [...]

I am still feeling run down and getting out of breath easily today due to last weeks cold but I cracked on and managed to get the kitchen work surface installed. After it was in I realised that it is too long and I can’t get the end panels on so tomorrow I will be [...]
Due to a variety of reasons I have not been able to do anything on the Bus since the 5th. I will be starting again tomorrow. I want to get the Kitchen worksurface and the bench seating installed tomorrow at the minimum. I also want the proper bed boards put in. I am going to [...]
Well the supplies arrived at 2pm today but I was missing the kitchen Worktop which will be delivered on Tuesday. I lifted the floor next to the bed and got the insulation down, unfortunately 50mm insulation is too big to go all the way under the bed so the front is only partially insulated at [...]
I have placed the final big order for materials today including the kitchen work surface. It will be arriving tomorrow and I can make a last push to finish the internal structure. When trying to describe where abouts on the build I am at the moment I use the terms, Structure, Infrastructure and finishings. By [...]
