Looking good Dean.

When you come to plan where you intend to run your cables / conduits, behind cupboards, under floors before you seal them up etc, all I can say is whenever you think "that should be heaps"...you don't. Plan for more than you think.

Well done.

There's something very satisfying about finally being able to stand on the bridgedeck. Gives you an entirely different perspective on the project have taken on.

Nearly there...just doing the last of the electrical work. After that it's just locker, cupboard, cabin doors and soft furnishings.

Damn...that's one fine "barn". Beats the temporary shelter (aka the hot house) I've been working in. Enjoy the clean floors while you can. By the time you finish dripping epoxy, bog, paint etc etc on it, you won't recognise it from these photos. Have fun and I hope you manage to get back i...

Huge congratulations....looks amazing.

Would have been a huge sigh of relief once your baby was released from those slings and was finally sitting in her element.

2 thumbs up....
