4 ) Well today ended up a bit more constructive than yesterday with the beds now in the van.



The beds were bought off of Ebay and were kind of expensive by my standards but the were hard to find and there was not much else similar anywhere on the internet. They are originally designed for a caravan but as you see they fit like a glove (once cut to length), the ladders were extra pinched from my daughters old bunk beds (another freebie) cut to length to fit the van. All that is needed now is storage and floorcovering which will be in a future blog.

Latest on the light cluster is that it is now had primer put on it and it now shows all the bits i have missed when sanding.


At least it know looks a bit closer to how it should do.



Now I did say about saving money on your kitchen unit. These units can cost anything from £200 to £1500 depending on how big you want, whether you want equipment like cooker and sink, whether you want extra storage, the coices are vast.

Here is my unit as i got it





I saved myself a fortune on these and you can to if you are prepared to get a little dirty, and do some DIY in them as i have, and i am no expert.

This unit complete with cooker and sink cost the grand total of £5 pounds............ I'll say that again, £5, not 50, not 500,....... £5, how? well i got it from an old caravan in a scrap yard (hence the get dirty bit) scrap dealers are not interested in wooden items, it is worth nothing to them.

I have already made some alterations to the unit which i will upload when complete and you will see the final result and i think you will be surprised.



Next time i should be able to show you the storage for the back and possibly the kitchen unit finished.
