1st Sleep Over in Keith!

Sunday 18: 
Sammy and Danny went off in Keith to her sister Leilani & Mat's "Mexican Fiesta" at North Ipswich.  They caught up with family and there was lots of great food, drinks, goodie bags and a wonderful real Mexican Mariachi Singer, Jose. (Soundtrack to Danny's film!)
They then drove to Sammy's brother David and Geraldeen's property at Mt Greville, outside Boonah.
But all did not go as planned...


Monday 19:
David and Geraldeen gave them a beaut camp oven (in which Danny cooked a lovely chicken & vege dinner), a hand rotating washing machine & an old mangle wringer + some kitchen drawer and cupboard fronts.

Poustie comes back with a Vengence!

Pousite spent 2 days with Keith and this is what he did:         Roof Cage fitted with the help of Danny and the Suzuki;  Fridge Vents in and checkerplate door well.        
Exterior Lights and Door Latch.
 Awning assembled and fitted.  To other side: Gas Bottle Door sealed properly &  Exterior Power Outlet in.
 Then Michael came along and he did a big couple of days:  the ply wall joining strips are still on order, so Sammy did a quick trip into Redcliffe for a vinyl offcut for the bed chamber.  Michael fitted it and Sammy recovered the mattress with a doona cover she was given by her Folks when she left home at 17yrs!


 Michael put the wool batts in the walls, ready for the ply sheeting and fitted the record cupboard into the back corner.
Danny has been doing some white undercoating of the bathroom and wardrobe, as well as more silicon on the outer joins to make sure it is definately, possatively water proof.
               
It's amazing the difference a couple of days can make in the world of Keith.  
DAY 78...

The Danny & Michael Show



It's been a big couple of weeks for Keith, with Michael and Danny putting in a big effort to get him plywooded inside.  Michael braced the walls in preparation and then put an elaborate series of wooden off cuts to hold it in place once fitted.

The guys had 4 hours of fun up on the roof re-fitting the 4 Seasons Hatch and Airconditioner with the correct sealant - Z Bond, by Bostik.  Danny found a great place:  Caboolture Caravan Repairs http://www.caravanrepair.com.au/ with lots of parts and v friendly service.


Danny got a new phone, Galaxy S by Samsung and made a little film about the ply  (see Facebook page).  He has also been working on a system for the grey water from the toilet, but there will be more of that in a later post...  He luckily found a Fuel Tank Kit from the UK which is new old stock still in it's box, so Keith's Fuel Gauge will work again!
Yesterday, Danny and Indigo Velvet picked up some alloy from Northgate and then back to the ply man in Clontarf for some more sheets.
