Fingers crossed

All being well, should be off to Mile End on Saturday to pick the van up :dance:
Which is good, coz I have my early winter hols from work, we don't get a say in when we have um. But it's fallen at the right time :)

Then the fun!! Challenge...more like it, will begin...how exciting :scared:

yeah sticky out bits is what we used to call them! obviously check the screw isn't long enough to go through the outer skin!also if you'regoing in with a screw on the end of your cordless,sometimes you'll hit a double layer,persevere,or you may go through one layer,then hit another layer a few mm in.what happens then is the thread you just cut jams,then strips,then cuts a new thread in the second layer

I've looked & there is a small gap in places along the roof section & will be paying close attention when doing the ceiling...I did 'treat' myself to 32mm self drilling screws from screfix, but to be honest, I'm happy bout doing the building stuff (apart from cutting holes in the van, more so the roof, as it's fibreglass) it's mainly the electrics that have me in a spin, but I'm slowly getting my head around it. :)
