repairs update

We had a good weekend on the caravan and we now have our wall back on. Hooray.

 Eddie had to work on Saturday morning, but he was in to it about 10 30. He got all the insulation in between the framing. We had hoped to get wool as our insulation, but there only seemed to be big sized. They were too fat to fit. We went to garage door insulation instead, which is made of polystyrene.

Next job was the plywood up. Lots of glue on the frame and then on the plywood. It was easy enough as Eddie had put up some racks to hang it on to help with maneuvering and we had it in 2 halves as well. You can just see them in the photos below. Lots of screwing to hold it all in place.

I went to Mitre 10 3 times, on Saturday for glue, brushes to put it on with and screws.

On Sunday, one of Eddie's friends from work, came around and helped us. Eddie glued the plywood and Craig glued the fibreglass shell. When it was ready, Shaun and Jim gave us a hand to get it up. Once it was hanging on on the racks it was fairly easy to put in place.

Next the windows went in. Boy were they dusty and in need of a clean. They have been sitting in the shed while we were sanding.

 Eddie connected the mains power late on Sunday evening and there was nothing. We don't really know what is going on yet. Something to be investigated. We are ok with the 12 volt and gas.

And that was our exciting weekend. With any luck we will all back to normal by the end of next weekend.
