New Lounge

Let the Renovations Begin

After a week or so of rain it was great to have a weekend off with sunshine, Saturday saw a lot of measuring and planning before taking Skye n Obie to Sara's baby shower so while i was waiting for them i used the time to go and buy the materials needed to start building the lounge for the caravan. Sunny Sunday arrives and after an unwanted sleep in the day begins with measuring and cutting all the materials then testing the pieces and continued cutting of other pieces. then alot of screwing and fiddling to get it all in place and the end result is a corner lounge which will double as Obie's bed and have storage cupboards underneath it. on my next day off i will be cutting the holes for the cupboards and making the doors. i will then need to take a trip to Clark rubber to get all the foam then Skye can make the covers for them with her newly found sewing skills. Skysie has posted the pic's for me under the heading new lounge so have a sticky beak at them and I'll post more pic's during the week.


cheers till next time,

Our first Mini Trip

On the 20th May 2011 my darling wife turned 29 a night out to dinner at hogs breath with family was in order and the next morning, we connected up Hundred's and off we went to Newcastle to visit my brother and his fiancee and my beautiful niece. we only spent the night but it was good just to get away and use hundreds even if we haven't started the main internal Reno's. At least i got to go fishing even if it was for a couple of hours, alas no luck... oh well, good practice for improving my casting... we went out for dinner to mucho mexican and it was fantastic, a great atmosphere, good food, excellent cocktails and best of all great company. the next day we went to a newly constructed park new Warner's bay and it was pretty awesome and then had a great lunch on lake macquarie at Warner's bay, again with great company. it was only a short trip but it was great practice for us novice carvanners.


cheers till next time,
