It’s been another week ticking boxes.  Fred is working tirelessly, spending every moment he is not at work on the truck.  He has been solely responsible for everything we have done so far.   It’s not just the labour but also his ability to plan all of this in his Continue Reading

It has been quite a bitsa week – bits of this and bits of that with a few major things as well.  Sometimes we reflect on the week just gone and think we don’t seem to have achieved much but then I begin to list it and realise that things Continue Reading

I left you last week with 3 of the 4 walls up.  Before we can put the back wall in, we cut a whole in the passenger side wall to allow access to the inside of the box.  This will be where the door will be fitted but at this Continue Reading
