WE HAVE A DOOR

Well finally, after 10 months of working on number 3 every spare moment we had, we finally have a room. Yes followers, we have a bathroom, WITH A DOOR.  Wow, I can't believe it.  It doesn't seem that long ago that we didn't even have walls, and now well, shall I say it again, we have a door.  Mind you, we can't use the bathroom yet, Terry had to take everything out of it so we could get the lamipanel in, and we still have one sheet to go behind the shower, and there is no plumbing yet, so it's not even really a proper bathroom is it, but it has a door, and you can go in there, and close it and have total privacy.  It's dark in there, because there are no windows, but the lights work again, after that minor disaster we had a few weeks ago.

Yes, the electrician came back and fixed the wire, and now the seats are in place, all welded and bolted down as they should be (we hope).  It's just a matter of getting the seat belts now and that part of the challenge will be over.  Except for the drivers seat, that is.  I think that will be one of the last things we do.  Everything is ready to go there, though, it's just a matter of putting it in.

The shower area
The bathroom is so white, we are thinking of adding a coloured piece of lamipanel in the shower area.  What do you think.  We have purple behind the kitchen sink, the walls as you will all remember are green.  Any suggestions on a colour.  The other three colours we are using are blue, purple and red.  As you may remember, we have based our colours around a mug.








Once the electrician came back and fixed the wire that Terry had drilled through, it was pretty easy to get the seats back up at the table and bolted in.  Someone was meant to come and have a look at the set up and advise us how to best bolt the seat belts in, but as usual, they never turned up.  Really, how hard is to to actually do your job.  I mean, this man does this for a living, and he can't even be bothered not only turning up, but calling to say he couldn't make it.  They get away with this, because they are the only ones who do it.  Anyway, we will sort that out as we get closer to registration.  Speaking of registration, we found out last week we have to take Number 3 to Burnie to go over the pits and get registered.  That will be fun.  Burnie is about 50 kilometres away and much busier than Devonport.  We have no trouble driving there, but it will be a different story taking a bus through there.  You see, Terry has never driven Number 3.  In fact, the only time he has driven anything as big as it was the day he got his medium rigid licence.  That day, he met the instructor somewhere, I can't even remember where actually, and the instructor got him to get behind the wheel of the truck, and Terry drove to Stanley then turned around and drove back.  Highway most of the way, and very little traffic.  I know, he is going to have to get used to driving in traffic, but it would be so much easier if we could have the bus registered here in Devonport, at least we know the roads and where we would have to go here.  Might have to borrow a bus driver friend for that first trip I think.

The photo frames are finished and they look really good.  I can't wait to see them up on the walls, but what I am looking froward to more, is to see them filled with photos of our trip.  I think I may need to get a few more frames, and put some on Terry's computer desk.  I think the colours will also  look great up against the white. 

Some of the frames I have painted.


We still haven't slept in Number 3, but Grezette (our cat) is still using it as her own private bedroom.  She still loves to curl up on our bed and enjoy the warmth from the sun.  Horatio still follows us in there, but he follows us out again when we leave, but then again, he follows us everywhere, so thats nothing new.
