The table hadn't been on my plans... but came in a flash only a few weeks back as I realised it not only formed a stable base to which things could be anchored, it makes good use of the vertical space, brings the fridge to a practical (ie non-bending) height, allows an extension of the settee to form a proper bench bed (mattress to be sorted), which then doubles as extra seating - - as demonstrated in this first shot!

Me-Now-Views - The Grey Edition
Mac1 was here for a couple of days last week to help get me going again on sorting the interior of the van. I want to be on the road again before the end of "Fearbruary", so am not looking to have it completed. But it is now at a point where I can go off on another 6-8-week run. This time, dedicated to the east coast of this Bonny Land... but more on that as it develops. Here are some of the interior shots - first two from Mac1 after day one, then mine after day two. It may not look that grand or different, but trust me, it is! I will have to get a few more screws and brackets in place, plus have some extra bungies on order to keep things in place until I get proper siding and doors sorted. This next trip will help, as did the first one, to ascertain the placement and practicality of this layout. There is space between the two shelves on the door side to place some drawers/cabinets and on the back end for a bit more storage, too. There is good storage space under the table/raiser that we have added (crikey, solid pine legs sawn by hand, we both had achy arms and shoulders from that!) I have made a wee update video, too - click the channel badge on the sidebar to go see that.

DeleteActually, this time of year usually brings even worse weather than earlier in winter. It struggles to burst into spring... but I may have a better time of it on the east coast. Not that worried. I have this fabby mobile 'cave' to protect me! Yxx

ReplyDeleteLooks like you are well prepared for an Australian safari, YAM! The east coast of Britain should be a doddle! !
ReplyDeleteThis is huge! You're ready for anything. I'm glad the comments mentioned what country you're in. Did you make that great knit you're wearing?
