Few days off work and some progress on the van. Sound insulation added, main distribution cables threaded, fridge tested, garage designed. Doesn’t look much, but it’s progress…

@penninecottage Eek. MDF’s horrible stuff to work with. Bet it looks smashing when it’s done tho 👍

That’s a wrap. One 6.5m GluLam garden bridge. Most challenging project to date. Loved it.

Delivery day of the bits finally. Exploited a couple of teenagers to carry it through the village. At 6.5m long, it wasn’t going to fit on the landy or trailer. #bespoke #woodworking

First pan of water boiled on the induction hob in the #vanlife build. So all systems in and tested now. So to be ripped out and get cracking insulating, cabling, building…#bespoke #camper

Finally started the curved bridge. Over 6m in length spanning 4.5m. Formwork made and trial of bending the wood layers. #bespoke #woodworking @besseytool

Day 7. Cogged rafters. Did I mention the food? @hewnwood #bespoke #woodworking

@Claira72 @AlisonCandlin @clairefranco @hewnwood @Alpkit 😂 Actually had to get rid of one. Too “soft”

Week 2. After discovering last week that the trusty 25 year old tent is no longer waterproof, I have alternate accommodation. Not a bad commute to work, if still basic inside. Good test of the battery install (beer’s cold) and the heater works. @hewnwood #bespoke #woodworking

@Claira72 @clairefranco @hewnwood @Alpkit Dozers. Bloody luxury. (You don’t need two, Just had two in my soggy tent from last week…)
