ambulance finished--

i am always interested in the little shelves that get added or the magazine rack . notice boards . etc . all adds life to the vehicle . pictures etc all tell the story .
 
exactly!,sat in it tonight,all finished,i'm noticing unused spaces crying out for a little shelf,all these things turn a van into a home.evolution of the van !
 
time will tell. i found some nice corner shelves in a skip in spain . made the living area of mine nicer , i think .
book case here there . soon puts life in it .
but its a good base . bet they are really chuffed .
so is it off to spain -portugal this winter for it?

Mr Brown you're amazing, how quickly you have done an ace job. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

ps now what was your budget and actual costs and what was your time plan? Maybe you could feature in an episode of 'Under the hammer'.

Brilliant job!

Another sterling Job mr Brown...!!! I love your interiors and the speed at which you can do them. Im sure they will both be very happy in it!!!
 
Is the corner room a loo? As one gets older it becomes one of the most important features and not so easy to find in a self builds! I slightly worry that it sounds a bit pervy when you ask to see photos of it though.
 
Spot on Nigel, love the woodburner.

What is the round hole in the ceiling above the door?
 
Also, the metalwork around the woodburner, how do you insulate it from the wood? Is it backed with something, and if so where do you get it from please?

I saw Bamboo flooring used in one of those 'do up house' type programs the other day, very nice, is it expensive?
 
the little corner room is indeed a loo,all I did in there was vinyl the floor and put a porta potti in. no shower as they're not necessary.also houses the table coats etc. the holes in the ceiling,there's 2,are exhaust fans I thought I might as well keep them,and the metal round the stove is just thin metal with an air gap behind,the screws are packed out with nuts about 15mm.i took the metal from her old van ,where the burner was even closer to the wood and there was no sign at all of the wood getting hot
 
Love it

Hey good work on the van, why not make your curtains out of old jeans, denim. Upcycling is the way forward.
