Very nice, how many times did you swear whilst doing the roof? ;-)

 

just the once but it lasted about half an hour :lol:

 

I'm quite pleased so far, not looking forward to the tricky contours though, but we shall see. At least the roof is done.

A bit more, took longer than I expected as it was a bit tricky but that's the worst over with I think for now. The trim fillers are going to be fiddly though.

Another half hour swearing session lol. It's looking really good Mike, you'll be getting a sun canopy next. ;-)

Yes Mike has a pier in his caravan that extends through the floor to stand on the ground.


 


When he reverses it onto a pitch he tries to polar align the caravan :lol:

Lol, we loved the look of that little caravan when we were at kelling last year. :-)

I have finished the carpeting some time ago now. The floor is not done in this pic, I need to get some better pics taken I guess. Hope to get the table test fitted tomorrow.

Finally got the cushions done and the lights wired in.

Total spend just shy of £100, exact figure unsure but I estimate around £96 or so, possibly a little less.

No pics but have now finished the wiring and paneled the sliding door, it now closes with a rather nice thud rather than a tinny echo rattle ring. Just waiting for a clear night to get on up to Belper to test this bad boy out in anger. Next comes the fitting out of the rear part for transporting scopes and cooking.


 


 




Where are you fitting the optics (drinks not astro!) and a Hobgoblin bin??  :D




 


I've decided against optics but I may have to invest in a pump for a keg of HG, it'll be far better on draft :D

Where is the beer fridge for the overnighters?

 

I have actually got one! Also good for keeping bacon fresh ;)
