Finally in


After a full on week of getting the following jobs done.  We’ve finally moved in.  Given we have to hand the keys back to the rental on Monday, it’s been cutting it fine.

 

1) caravan foul drainage connected to the sewage treatment plant

 

2) water supply to shed for washing machine

 

3) installing Starlink.  This was very easy

 

4). Fitting a skirt to the static from salvaged 18mm shuttering ply

 

5). Making some steps.  So glad I never burnt the pallets.  They are perfect.


I won’t miss the hours drive each way and my commute to London is now 45 mins instead of 90 mins, plus our daughter is moving into her first home shortly and she’ll be 7 minutes away.

 

A new chapter has begun 😃

 

ps - site currently resembles the Somme

Did you get a good deal on the ply? They must more of less give it away when removing hoarding on big sites?

...and sadly probably will do until April+

 

Is there any scope for a rudimentary 'porch' outside the door (even if it's a free-standing 'shed') so you can have a good doormat and change wellies outside?

Beware the plywood skirt preventing ventilation / adventitious airflow to any gas burning appliances.

 

Please tell me you have more than one CO1 detector in there? 
 

Oh, and congrats on being on site, just be safe!

Well done on a big step! 

Best thing that happened on our site was putting down a good layer of MOT1 to control the mud. Thought it might have been an "unnecessary" expense at the time but very glad our groundworker did it.

I never got round to building a porch for the caravan and TBH don't miss it as much as I'd expected to, though I appreciate many others have done a porch and found it useful.

Mot, crushed concrete, terram.  Dig out the topsoil over footprint +2m and get rid.  Make a nice clean road in.
