Just when I thought the end was in sight.

I took the bus or is it now a mobile home out and turned it around . It was at this point I said to myself " Pooh there is a long way from here to the end" . The right hand side has a battery box to moved , a house battery box to made . a generator cabinet to be made , a grey water tank to be fitted and a fuel tank cover panel to be made.

I am on three weeks holidays now and have a chance to make major progress , four days have passed and I have worked about 70% of one day on the bus. Today was Sunday and I went shooting parrots... what a joke my tally was I shot a tree ( on purpose of course). I wanted to see the damage by a 12G shotgun at three metres , yep keep at the rear of the gun always.

All the parrots were flying out of range until... my mate and I were going through a fence so...unload the guns . break the barrels and open the wire by standing on the lower strands . My friend took the opportunity to loosen his belt to pull his trousers up higher and yes you guessed it. A group of about 20 birds came and buzzed us at about 3 to 4 metres, no time to load and shoot , just curse. The funny thing is that I pictured it happening before it actually happened...sometimes I wonder if thinking about things causes it to happen.

I carried about 200 shells in my shooting jacket pockets for about three hours to just fire about five shots , one of those at a tree, I showed the tree I did.

Anyway I have framed up the heater cabinet door and the fire escape door.

The hinge side is at the front of the door towards the front , in case they ever come open the tendancy will be to blow closed in the wind.

The frames are both fitted , I will sheet them later when I sheet the bottom section of the sides. Fitting the door frames meant I had to weld 6mm metal in to the tubing and then tap holes for the hinge screws. ( Very tedious I can assure you).

I then needed to remove the old battery box and alter it.

The battery box is to go in front of the air cleaner and before the upright. The square opening will house the house batteries 800 Amp Hours at 12 volts. It took a day to alter the battery box , will take a few hours to refix it then a day to make the house battery box behind the wheel or actually the mud guard. This is enough for now , the next photos will show these items completed.

Happy christmas to all ... Sich.
