It has been a long week, boy are we tired! Today seemed to slip by in an instant. There were some problems completing our business obligations this morning as we had no internet, instead of messing around indoors for ages we headed out to the van as planned. A Jig with Ply We managed to finish off the last of the floor with the foil bubble wrap. It feels really good and I’m pleased we did it in the end….
It’s been another long day spent working on the van, we were out til late last night on a social visit so felt pretty weary this morning. We’ve found it’s more productive and much more peaceful to work during the week so we are trying to work on the van where possible and leave the weekend for recuperation and probably allocate some time to catch up on some business stuff and the housework. No Vapour Here… We’ve been umming and…
We had yesterday off from van work, not only did we have business stuff to catch up on after the weekend (Mondays are always our most hectic day), but we were in need of some rest after the hard graft. I can honestly say we’ve never hurt so much! The back and neck ache are intense and we are both feeling the worse for wear, there’s a lot of squatting down going on whilst we work on the floor and…
Phew, what a day! We were both up bright and earlier and got out to the van to clean the walls on the inside as it had got a bit dusty from rust removal. This was a three stage process, as we also needed to paint over some rusting scratches on the walls. I am rather weary and worn out from today as I had been busy overnight thinking about van and business stuff. Rust Treatment Step 1: The first…
December is a busy month for us and we’ve coped well adding van work onto our daily tasks. Let’s get started and we wish you all a happy holiday! Iron Oxide, Frankincense and Myrrh It’s quite exciting seeing the Gandalf the van parked up outside when you get up in the mornings and we are eager to get going. After acquiring Gandalf I’d set about mocking up a layout idea in a program called Sketchup, so we felt confident about…
At long last! Finally some purchasing! You’ll be relieved to know we finally own a van! *does a little dance* It Started With Two… Let’s go back to the past week… We took a couple of days off the van hunting and did some fun things, like going to the cinema and chilling out at home. This month is quite hefty in the run up to Christmas for our business. After all the recent let-downs we wanted to have some…
We’ve had a long old month of continuous research and van hunting, whilst doing our utmost to remain hopeful despite our previous experience! We guessed after that, it may be a slightly longer road to getting a van. We had another couple of close calls, the world of van hunting has been quite surprising and eye opening, it certainly doesn’t seem as tame as car hunting. Close but No Cigar… We thought we’d made a breakthrough in the search and found…
This morning we were feeling pretty pumped about the idea of getting a van, we were happy with our research and ready to hit the ground running. A Revealing Day Expecting this to be an exciting part of the process we decided to take a day trip around local van dealers to have a look at what was on offer. We also hoped that Ben would get a sneaky chance to sit in some of them as due to him…
