A couple of thumbnails to substantiate my new found sewing skills
The unpicking tool was used most
. I even managed to sew the top to the bottom diagonally
Binding double sided sticky tape and a zip
Once they were all sorted they don't look bad for a bloke
Bearing in mind they have No wadding yet for that soft touch
or any upholsterers silk( slippy sheet to help it all go together and protect the foam from any water ingress). With a Draylon material and the silk, I should be able to sit on them in the rain
( Just don't go near the FIRE
)
P.s. I still haven't found any silk to purchase other than in 100meter rolls so anyone out there??????????????????
The wadding or even a steam iron might improve then even more
Please note the marble effect table top in its REST position
The bedroom is moving on at quite a pace
Insulation under the bed and on the walls. ( NS on them means they are NOT STUCK yet)
A slight repair was needed.
The fiberglass under bed sheet was not in contact with the spars in one area so I got out the farm jack and pushed it up to reglue it.
Push it up
I lifted the whole nose of the camper off the ground
fractured two of the welds in the process
That repaired. Plywood base sheets overlayed
I am going to put some of the insulation sheets over all of the area ( BIG Jim
) When I get some.
Also, when I can source some hardboard big enough to cover the ceiling. (unable to get an 8ft x 4ft sheet YET) I will be ready to carpet walls and ceiling with oatmeal carpet
(Starting to feel quite arty
)
Bribed my grandson to come over and help. (£££)
He managed to take all the edge angle off and remove the protective film off the whole camper apart from the 2 back sheets which I was prepping and gluing in position. Then he replaced the angle.
I now have a pristine white camper crying out for decals and color
Good job Jared, Thanks.
My attention then turned to THE DOOR
That bloody door.
I realigned the framing spars.(big hammer and drift) Rewelded the cracked joints
I Gave up then
I have resigned myself to the fact that I will be camping next week in a tent
again, but if I can get the camper bolted onto the truck I might take it to Santa pod as a sort of storage shed)
Some toerag removed my Tonneau so I need somewhere to keep the kitchen sink and all the other things you need when camping
I'm sorry if this post appears a bit disjointed but I'm just back from the gin bar
