You could say we've been quite busy...
5 weekends in and it's almost ready to go!

I bought myself an upper-mid-quality set of drill bits. Does this make me a real grownup now?

For those who like this sort of thing, the van build is coming along very nicely!
Well on track and now has lights and heat installed!
Next stop finalising the insulation and fitting the wall panels!

I’m Paul and I’m a tinkerer of all things, tech, vans, cooking and camping. This page will be almost exclusively my van build, with some travel content.

#vanbuild update: electrical almost done. Just need to secure the battery and hook it up. That's the most harrowing bit. Everything works great now because there's no electricity running through it. The actual plugging-in is RACKING. MY. NERVES.

#vanbuild update: with the electrical sorted (for now), I'm finally able to move on to the furniture and cabinetry, starting with the bed

#vanbuild status: Insulation

Roof first, then walls. The 24hr cure time on the glue kinda slows things down, but I can do some preliminary work on the solar while it's curing.

ETD: 33 Days 🚐

#vanbuild update: Finished the first of my furniture, a simple set of drawers-slash-bedside cubby.

It'll be mounted against a wall and the cubby will be full of stuff, so I didn't bother veneering them. As I was reviewing it earlier today, I realized it reminded me of something.

When you're a bit into the #vanbuild and you need to pop to the shops #sprinterbuild. Sanity started to fade on this drive

Insulation is done! #vanlife #vanbuild

#vanbuild status: insulation mostly in, solar panels finally mounted (though not yet wired)

Time for the bed frame 💪😁 #vanbuild #campervanconversion #vanlife #diycamper

#vanbuild update!

Walls are in. Grasscloth wallpaper was super spendy so I went with canvas dropcloth for a fraction the cost. Contact cementing was a harrowing task but I managed! Layered some sheet metal for magnet-mounting photos. Carpet also in.

Next: upper shelf cabinets.
