Shed will stay in the marina as will the bus for the time being.
Shed has all my tools but much will be discarded once the jobs are done.
Will light up like a xmas tree when setup as will have two light bars on front and one on rear as well as led strips on front deck and a 10w light for night activities (not that type of activities Dot I will turn them off if every that happens but fairly safe there)
It will have two inverters 500w for the basic house as is, plus a 2.5 for the heavy drain that I know I cant use (the google experts told me). Plenty of room on the roof so hope to start with two Kva so that should create some power for the air con etc LOL.
Lots of interest in Lithium at the slip and with a few that I have talked to in the marina so the CF have shot them selves in the footsies as it might be T1 Terry yes the same as - Terry on the CF will be that busy with house boats he wont have time for the RV's.
Might be only for special peoples that have been nice.

Very spiffy, Brian!
You will have to get a cat, now that you have room to swing one! :lol:
Do you plan to repaint, or are you OK with the blue?
Looks like when in 'Skipper' mode, you either have to stand, or sit sideways. Do you plan to install a Captain's Chair?
BTW, hope whatever is bothering you healthwise is dealt with quickly & painlessly.
Allabest...
Regards & God bless,
Ray

All the caravan seats are gone (out on the fore deck anyhow)
I have my $64 four seater expander table seat cushions all recovered, and I have two good office chairs, One for the helm and one for the bed room desk the one here is going.
Gas fridge has gone and replaced with Terry and Margs hand me down 240v fridge
Got a realy good mattress from my mate so the one on here will go also.
Plan to make a pull out pantry as well as put shelfs in the two full length robes in the bedroom as I dont wear suits or dresses (YES that is correct even though I am in track dacks at the moment to hide some extra features (DOWN Dot)
Hope to start the lifePo4 Conversion soon with dedicated power points for the large inverter in kitchen and the aircon.
Will be in Adelaide most of next week as have hospital on Monday and a funeral on Tuesday and an event on Thursday so just about kills the week.
Might get some Bunnings and op shop visits in though

How did the wind effect you overnight Brian? I put an extra rope on & just enjoyed the 'ride'!!
Are you OK or should I come back & help you?
Sure is a bit cooler today.

Mostly scaping off flaking paint Brian. (in between showers!)
Wendy has been busy counting Callop.
No carp here at the moment.... only Callop.
You still have visitors onboard?
