Somehow I have managed to re-activate the Chicken Pox virus that has been dormant in my body for the last 50 years. The result is called 'shingles' and it's not a very pretty sight. It is very painful and I haven't been my usual happy self for a few days now. But... the van is coming along really well and I feel a bit better knowing what is happening to my new little home on wheels. Michael and Emma found some nice 'natural edged' timber for my bench tops in Dubbo on the weekend. Of the two I chose the Australian Cedar as I liked the darker colour of the wood. I do wonder how they got such a slab back to the van in Mudgee? All the timber in the van will be sealed with Danish Oil, not sure how many coats but I expect a few layers on the bench tops. The bed base is made and in 2 sections for ease of access to storage space under. I think having slats with be better for the mattress and the bend in the slats will be better for my back. I have chosen not to have memory foam as I find it unnatural, hot and with a smell that takes a while to go. I shall have an ordinary foam mattress with a down mattress protector. I think that will be lovely and comfortable. The overhead cabinets are in at the end of the bed and I think the cupboards and drawers will be fitted to the front of the bed any day. The bathroom gets fitted in today and I can't wait to see it. It's a bit like something I saw a long time ago and I'm pretty sure it's going to be amazing. Watch this space 🙂
