Windows

The new windows slowly getting installed.  We had changed the design of the caravan.  We have taken out the long windows at both the front and the back of the caravan.  They weren't going to work for our furniture inside.... 

We added another normal sized window for where we planned our seating area...

Floorboards

New flooring was bought.  Precoated with special stuff painted on the bottom to keep the wet out.  Here is dear hubby cutting the boards to size. 

and here is our hardworking son vacuuming some bits of dirts :)

Walls

The exciting part.... more walls and more walls.... and even new guards for the wheels.  The old guards were real flimsy, and 'if' we ever would blow a tyre, it would actually cause damage to the old guards.  The new ones are a lot stronger... it can hold both our weight :) and they are waterproof too!!

some more walls..... all the windows were cut out when the walls were up.... it was easier that way going with the shape of the outside walls...

Insulation

We had purchased foam for insulation.  and we spend a great many days/evenings together either cutting out foam or coughing up foam particles!!

and of course we couldn't resist to put our first wall in before all the walls were covered with insulation.  On this photo the window still needed to be cut out.

Wiring

Behind the scenes, plenty of planning has been done.  Plenty of discussions, internet browsing and even visiting a caravan place to get some ideas.  Plans were drawn up, parts were researched and ordered. 

And here we are starting to rebuild.....  The first thing that has to be done are the wires.... and as that is dear hubbys expertise, everything was planned to perfection!!

Windows and ceiling removed

We finally managed to have our large shed mostly cleared out so we had plenty of room to make a mess.    Walls got taken out:

windows taken out

lights/number plate got taken off from the outside

even the roof got partly taken off.... it was great not having to worry about the rain getting in :)

Ceiling prep work

One of the first things that got done in the caravan was the ceiling:

holes and vents puttied and covered up:

we used our spray gun and did about 3 coats to get a very nice finish....

Demolition Progress

I came out of the house the other morning to this..... two legs out of the bottom of the caravan....

Owen had lifted up one of the floorboards and got stuck into the nitty gritty of pulling out staples, interior walls etc...
