Gone 'full time'..........

Gone 'full time' now.  I have sold caravan, just the sprinter van to sell and that's it!  I was a bit nervous at first, but now, I am loving it.  I have found a few lay-by's to choose from so I can keep moving about a bit.  My favourite is just around the corner from my new local.  The only downside is, it is on the side of busy road and the lorry sways as the petrol heads and chavs race by.








As Max and I were having are morning walk we came across a guy working on his boat.  It turns out Paul is living out his transit while he overhauls his boat.  We got talking about log burners after seeing the tell-tale witches tit on the roof.  I was asked him about fitting a log burner to my lorry, and how you do it, without melting the roof or setting fire to my home.  Paul was a mine of information and offered to help me with fitting and wiring and anything else to help.  He also had spares, so now I am the proud owner of a slightly used log burner stove!


The conversions coming along, I have built the basic frame for the kitchen/workshop and stored some boxes underneath.  In the morning I will finish the raised floor for the draw units and I might start on the stage area.  Or Max and I might just chill!

I need to decide what to do about my wifi ariel's.  I had one idea and drilled some big holes in front wall for a pole mount but I think I have now changed my mind, as I need to be able to turn tube around to get best signal on victim.  I will get some photo's in morning, you can see better what I mean.

What I still can't get over is how clever the human race is, to invent things.  I can be parked in the middle of nowhere and just fire up my petrol gen and have mains power.
