Hoping to leave here around 10 or 11..be around naas about 40 mins after i leave. I'll text you when i leaving.
We had a emergency BBQ or selfs the other day. First one in ages.
Also managed to get my hands on a nice chassis today, picking it up tuesday so hoping to get my own build started soon

Great news about the chassis. Emergency BBQ I like it. Right well ill see you later so.

[donal94]

Ok so some progress made on the chassis today, welded in a rear 50x50mm crossmember and welded up the slits made to alter angle of drawbar, it all needs cleaning up now and painting

[3nero]

Looking Good. I got to see my chassis today stripped bare. I was just driving past the guys house and he called me in so i had no camera with me. Picking it up tomorrow and then it will be time to order the wood.

[donal94]

What size timber are you planning on using for the floor frame?

[3nero]

8 x 4 probably 1/2 inch ply over a 2 by 2 frame.

[donal94]

Yeah that's exactly what I'm thinking.

[donal94]

Where did you pick up a roof vent I've looked at a few caravans but the vents hAvent been in good condition. I was considering buying one new

[3nero]

On donedeal. look under campers and set to cheapest first, then all the parts show up. same guy had 2 nice windows from a horse box but had sold them before i called.

[donal94]

I had a look there thanks ill keep on the hunt. Got some free kitchen cabinets to use for storage in the shed today need a bit of tidying up but will be fine in the short term.

And don't forget Adverts.ie and Buyandsell. I like adverts better because you can chance your arm with low offers and sometimes they accept. I got the whole galley for 75 when it was listed at 150. It came from an old tent trailer.

[donal94]

Yeah I've bought and sold lots of things on adverts over the years, great website. No work done on trailer tonight unfortunately, hoping to get some done tomorrow

[3nero]

and i didn't get to pick up my chassis tonight. My car decided to have a sulk so i had to put it on the naughty step (Halfords ramps) 2 hours on the step until he decided to behave. It's still sulking after the long drive on Sunday. Lashing rain here now so not looking like good building weather this week

[donal94]

Ah disaster is it your vw bus ?

[donal94]

I haven't managed to make much progress with the trailer but have done a bit of work on the shed painting,insulation and trying to organise some storage.
