many a time sat in the van on a baking hot day idly watching flies being sucked out of the skylight by the updraught best mastic...

smartcom is ideal for the job - good price too !

straight cuts - track saw curve cuts - jigsaw with reverse cut blades. these only cut on the downstroke and make it easy to follow the pencil line and any splintering is on the back of the cut.

as i pointed out many times - you're sticking to a thin layer of paint.

cheers Trev , i'm fine , and hello Stephen, thought you might show up !

i'm about, just a bit quiet at mo

there are more. for a number of reasons. factory builds are expensive , and not that well built . there's loads more info about on how to do stuff, and of course , loads more people like us offering advice and quick answers to particular problems. add to that the amazingly low prices of tools...

i know eucalyptus as that was all we burnt at one point. had to clean the flue once a week. when we were travelling with the kids and very little dosh we'd burn anything to keep warm . paperbacks , old shoes, pine cones are nice but quick and hot. good for the kids to have to go out in the cold...

i and my kids and many other people we know have , or have had, burners in vans , i have made and fitted loads of them. the size burner for a van doesn't use masses of fuel and wil stay in all night with a shovel of coal . look at the windysmithy 'wendy' stove foor an idea of size, i've fitted a...

well i like bulges and believe them to be beautiful [ in case the wife reads this ] my second option still gives most vans a 6' bed

flares don't stick out as much as wing mirrors. if they protrude 50mm and that is filled with insulation , you still gain the extra width of the wall thickness, 2-4 inches each side. or just don't put wall panelling and insulation where your head and feet need to go , just fix carpet or camping...

5 ltr- 1 gallon ? anyway take it out after the photo

what's the problem ? a container in a cupboard.

there's lots of choice out there, but you'd be better putting it high up through the wall Low Voltage 12V Extractor Fan with Timer & Transformer - Ok for Bathroom Zone 1: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

very similar to my daughter's ambo , the side door is in a good position and the barn doors and windows are too. as for mileage - you only need to drive a mile to change your surroundings , and i can afford that !

i've put various mixing bowls and dog bowls in vans for sinks ,anything with a flange , you can get a waste hole puncher from IKEA for a tenner, use any domestic tap

that was lucky - they only came in yesterday , just 2 left today ! tried it out - nice bit of kit . not sure why i need 2 impact drivers but hey ho ! oh yes , they had cordless sabre saws and angle grinders too, all the same battery

without battery £ 20 , battery and charger £18 i'm off to get one right now . luckily , same charger and batt as the jigsaw i bought recently
