Help request
Thanks, that was a bit of a jokey request, i do a lot of it overnight as it keeps my routine for work, cant be doing with keep switching from days to nights, you end up knackered all the time. Wish i could retire myself, although id only end up with more projects, reckon id get bored too and have to find something to occupy my time, ive always got at least one on the go, last one was building my landrover, this is my third van, done a boat, several cars, an M3 based kit car, two houses, a static, two plots of land with another soon to be started, couple of trailers, a crop sprayer and numerous other bits and bobs, aswell as working full time, cant seem to sit still for five minutes, im usually planning the next one as im finishing the current one, always busy and always skint! But wouldnt have it any other way, used to drive my ex mad, hence shes now my ex! Dont know why i do it to be honest, with the exception of the landrover ive sold them all once theyre finished and you never seem to get anywhere near what its cost to do it, let alone pay for the time and effort involved, only one i never finished was the kit car coz my boss bought it off me as a retirement project

Photo update
Well finally had time to do a bit more over weekend, got this lot done.
Gas and water all in, ready for final fit of appliances, tap etc, had to fit pressure regulator on cold water feed to water heater, still need to drill out drop vents in floor,
Carver gas water heater from caravan and water pump,
Dab radio, amp, and tv signal booster/splitter, has output for vhf for radio, bit more wiring to do but theyre all run in ready to connect, this is all getting boxed in,
Proper tap, water pump runs high enough pressure to use a decent one, obviously not fitted yet, need to tile the worktop first,
Started boxing in over the water tank, the bit under the radio, table area is where dogs bed is going,

It's alright I just tilted me screen over, while tilting I did knock a cup of cold coffee over the cat and soak me extension lead causing me to get a shock when I pulled out the plug a bit sharpish but it's ok really.:raofl:

Probably about 20 ton the way im going! Not sure really, i reckon ive added about 450 kilo on drivers side, maybe 300 ish on passenger by the time ive tiled the worktop etc, plus 140 in water tank when full, that includes windows and frames, i want it slightly heavier on drivers side to compensate for road camber and so it does roundabouts better, about 50 kilos on roof, plus all the ply lining, insulation etc, i reckon theres 20kilos of wiring gone in, think it was just under 4 ton empty, its the twin rear wheel 7.5 tonner, probably be pushing 6 ton when done with all tanks, gas full, its hard to judge coz it goes in a bit at a time, will be visiting a weighbridge when its finished, five speed box, with the stupid dog leg first gear set up. I am putting 2 double cig, double usb units in the boxed bit that sticks out from worktop, one set on 12v and one on 24v, all 4 usb are 5v. I reckon theres a fair chance of seeing at a meet but maybe not this year! Theres still a lot to do but im getting there slowly, hoping to get it done so i can go to scotland in it at xmas. Would have been far cheaper, easier and quicker to take the cupboards out of a caravan and fit them but i dont like to do things the easy way.
Crushed a finger at work tonight so thats gonna slow me down for a couple of weeks, dont think il be getting much done this week now thats for sure, hurts like a ******* and cant bend it!
