Spent the most part of today trying to sort out a panel for the rear of the roof around the hinges :? In the end I came up with this

Im not 100% happy, but I did loose the will to live come 4pm

I need some edging strip to mask my crap jigsawing where it meets the roof, but once the cupboard is in im sure thing will look ok.......

Yes, with the little one, and new announcement - another one on the way, found out this week, still need to get to the midwife on the 28th for a scan, so maybe about 8 weeks gone, really happy, but I am on a downer as Linda is so so unwell at the moment, got the doc involved this morning, so have been in all day playing nurse. :sick0006:

Really need time to do it, Mum is flying in from Spain in a few weeks and there is nothing inside the bus to sit on bar the 2 front seats :shock:

Next week she will be better, and i can get stuck in on my day off

Cheers!

Thanks for the offer Ste, but i managed to get the shape ok but it wouldnt meet the roof line perfectly, ordered some pipping like this

Should look neat.

Gonna re-make it as I dont like the self tappers I used............oh to be a perfectionist :lol:

Hey dude that's a cheeky little gas connection, do you mind if I ask where you got it? I want to do something similar, ie propex and removable cooker. Thanks Paul
