weekend away in the £20 caravan

look at this view - nice isnt it - this is just up the road from our house at a place called wild rose caravan park - its on the net look it up

so we took the £20 caravan out for a shake down and a try out to see how it all worked

it all worked well and the awning we had lying about fitted as well - bonus

we only stayed for two days (one night) but it was long enough to try it all out and test everything and it did go well

it did rain for a bit and we stayed dry , it got a bit cold and we stayed warm so i would say 'result' and well worth all the effort

next job plenty of polish and its ready for lots of weekends away over the indian summer were going the get this back end

inbetween hands we have started to put a new bathroom in the house(big job) - never a dull moment at our house

pics and words to follow - watch this space

caravan update

worked on the £20 caravan again this weekend and have cleaned and bleached right through - looking a lot cleaner now and smells much better.

opened up and cleaned and polished/repaired all the windows

all curtains have been washed twice now and have discovered they have a pattern on them and they look quite nice

the cushions have come clean also and they to look good

started laying a new floor which is beech laminate and is looking good so far and should be a lot easier to keep clean

it was missing some floor vents so bought some secondhand off e-bay and i fitted them this weekend perfect fit and look good too

also missing was the main electric hookup point so e-bay again but havent wired that in yet as didnt have time but have checked it for size and it does fit

hopefully next weekend i will tackle the electrics both 240 and 12 and see what works and what doesnt and repair as needed

the gas hob is scrap so has gone to the tip and am looking through e-bay again for a replacement

the built in microwave is beond cleaning so have sourced a replacement the same size and will be fitting that

the acreage is doing well the pool is down and put away for now the sunflowers have just started to flower and look great - i picked what beans were ready last week and put them in a bucket and put them out front with a free sign on them and they all went
have planted a second crop of peas just out of interest - lets see what happens

a scooter arrived in the back of a van today its a peugeot , its yellow , and after a few hours it now starts and drives - another project

its all go as usual but all is well with me and mine - hope all is well with you and yours !!!

short one for now
get ready to cringe

if you think our gill has her work cut out - thats nothing
all will be ok in the end
no photos - just let your mind run riot
it will get there in the end
