      My most frequently used tools are in this narrow under bench cupboard.

        These cupboards under the dashboard are where I keep the scrounged useful bits and pieces and electrical stuff.

          There is a lovely big space in the middle of the bus accessed from both sides. Unfortunately I have to share it with things like BBQ & folding chairs etc.

            This is my allotted portion of under bed storage. Obviously my negotiation skills aren’t that hot but I am working on it.

              Alison thinks I look in the rear vision mirror a lot but really I am pondering on how to do the next step of the current build.

                  Hi David

                 Yours must be the ultimate in workshopsmobile with brewing facilities and even somewhere to have an afternoon napI bet you even have a TV in the green behemoth. 

                I have had to retreat indoors as the weather gets colder over here and now the lounge floor is littered with barrel back parts and our grandsons toys..Jane says its like living in a nursery as we both play with each others toys. 

                Here you can see Ryan giving me a master class in the art of using a saw.

                    Hi Paul.

                    Grand kids are great aren’t they. Looks as if Ryan thinks your new boat is going to be too long. He is a lucky lad to be having that sort of time with you.
                    cheers.
                    David.

                      Jane is very tolerant of all the mess that we make even when we paint indoors.
                       
                      Hi David
                      I,m the lucky one being able to have this extra time with him, he doesn’t think the boat is to long….he thinks its to short because he can’t get into this one.

                          You must be joking it a real mess now…I can only just get into the door ………. the natives tell me that Stanley is still looking for Livingstone somewhere at the back of my workshop quite close to the lost city of Atlantis.

                                            Hello Jane 

                                            It is good to hear that Paul is out of immediate danger and we all wish him well and hope that he is back posting soon.

                                            Please tell him that we all miss his daily titbits of advice and not infrequent rants especially as there is so much going on at the moment for him to comment on. 

                                            Best wishes

                                                  There has been an improvement to my workshop situation.
                                                  As well as the kitchen bench in the motor home that Alison and I live in, I now have half of a 12 meter long shipping container set up as a workshop. So when we come back to base I can have quality time in my “shed”.

                                                  The container is sited behind a friends business. I have fitted glass doors to keep the weather out on rough days and still let in some natural light.

                                                  All the benches were a bargain at $2.00 from Trade me. they were video store counters in their previous life.

                                                  With the steel walls you can imagine that what the temperature is outside is pretty much what the temperature is inside, so at this time of year if it gets up to 10 deg C it is luxury.
                                                   
                                                  I am not complaining though, it is great to have this space to set up my gear.
                                                  Regards.

                                                    David, your containerised workshop is an inspiration! Have you thought of insulating the walls? With such a well-conducting enclosure, I do hope you have well grounded the container where the electrical supply comes in, for safety. Best regards, Mark

                                                      Hi Mark.
                                                      Insulating the container would certainly improve it, that is something to think about for the future.
                                                      With regards to the wiring, I have the container wired as you would a caravan with an RCD protecting everything.
