Cupboard Love

Since our trip to Anglesey we've not had a lot of time, but there are some jobs that need to be done before we go away again

Replacing the fridge is going to be a long job, so for now it's been removed because I needed to replace all the wood in the cupboards because someone had spilt something which had soaked into the wood and now stank. We suspect rancid cooking oil. So this type of mess stank !


 Which was hiding this type of mess


Has been replaced with nice clean plywood which has been varnished so if there are more spills it can just be wiped clean and we don't get back to the same problem. As you can see a nice big gap for a new fridge


And whilst I'm there here are the new shelves for the rear cupboard - I mean who needs a wardrobe in a camper van anyway. it's not like the wife will be needing her evening dresses in the middle of a campsite is it?


Hopefully all this will be finished in time for next weekend

Whilst working today we resolved another problem. Another stinking mess in Katy has turned out to be the washer bottle - full of what looked like a bacterial soup - so bad it smelt awful and it gummed up the pipes. All has been cleaned out and works fine now

Will the woodwork ever finish

The amount of room overhead in the cab is immense

The amount of bedding that wife like to take with us is similar - feather duvet, 3 feather pillows and she may be happy

So I've built what amounts to a right across bedding rack out of 18mm plywood strips

Happy Wife = Happy me

A Bit of Nifty Woodwork

The old rotten boards holding the gas bottles in place are now replaced with shiny new 18mm Waterproof ply which I will paint for added protection as soon as I get a moment.

A nifty side benefit is that the left over piece exactly fits the broken table which saved me another job

Now all I need to do is polish and varnish the table piece and get the gas bottle in place and we'll be ready for dinner
