As I said before the horsey juice had rotted the planks on the near side so off they came and were replaced with some treated garden planks and a couple of tubes of sealant...
Screwed straight onto the metal frame with self tappers.............
Next thing was to take out the window where the shower room was going. But I left the window in and just blocked it with a piece of 25mm ply
Just had to put something in the window
A Gentle Giant album cover
Next I planned on putting the floor down, tongue and groove planks, but as that would reduce the headroom by nearly 3 inches I thought it would be better to build the shower room first.
And before I done that I had to put the ceiling and insulation up in that area
I used 8mm tongue and groove cladding and 150 space blanket insulation, on special offer from B&Q, for the ceiling
The shower room is made up with 18mm ply with a 50x50 frame and is fixed solid in the corner
I've been thinking how to waterproof it, I know some have tiled theirs but I'm not sure about that. What with the movement and the weight I have decided against tiles and am going to use vinyl flooring like used on bathroom floors. The idea is to put it round in one piece so that there is only one join.....
Next on the agender was a cupboard cum wardrobe and a seat with storage underneath...
Framework of 25x35 battoning
..........and the covered with 12mm ply
I was quite chuffed with meself getting all this done in a couple of days....

And ready to carry on the next day,
I had planned on getting the area for the wood burner ready as it is getting fitted next week.
I've got some more of that heavy duty 25mm ply to put down under and behind it.
But as things were going so well sods law pops up and everything is on hold cos I put me back out.
Hopfully if I take it easy for a couple of days it'll sort itself out......
That is soooo funky man!!! WooooHooo!!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you've started a journel - i really like the layout style too, it makes things easy to get at, and black backgroud is genius :)))
i'm trying to orient myself in the space ...... hm! if i remember rightly the shower cubicle is just behind the cab? opposite the side door, so you can see through the large logenge shaped hole to the cab? If you've got a floorplan!
Hi ya Dave, thanks for the encouragement mate.
ReplyDeleteYea the shower room is right behind the cab, blocking off some of the cut through, but as long as I don't put any more weight on I'll be able to slide through to the cab if I need to.
Floor Plan? what's one of them heh heh. It's all in me head man lol.
But hey maybe I should try and get something down on paper, watch this space
