The paint job is nearing completion now, and Dave Moore’s done a fantastic job on the new signwriting as you can see in the picures below. The reflection of the scaffold boards makes it a little confusing to look at mind!

Shiny!
A couple of pics from Mike with the latest coat added to the darker blue. That’s what I call a mirror finish!
Oliver’s new look
The new paint has started going on now!
Oliver’s Paint job
Oliver’s been busy having a new paint job – here are some pics of the process in action! First stage stripping everything back…
The new toilet
The new tank is now in, along with all the new pipework and the monitoring system.
The control panel was expertly cut out by Barry with help from Sarah, and just looks like it’s always belonged there. We now have a tank monitor along with the flush controls so we know when we need to empty – always handy!
Here’s the other end of the tank-monitor – lots of wires and fiddly cutting of the sensors to the right depths, but nothing we couldn’t handle 🙂
The pipe work is mostly fitted just using rubber grommets to make a seal, but for one connection the plastic needs welding together – I was a bit nervous about this as the thought of any leaks wasn’t a pleasant one, but luckily all went well!
And finally the tank and all the connections were done – hooray!
Toilet woes come to a head
The toilet has been showing signs of its age so we finally decided to bite the bullet and replace both it and the tank. At the same time it seems a good opportunity to fit a working tank monitor gauge.
Yesterday we got the old tank out, and today we tidied up a bit and investigated where to put the new monitor panel.
Here’s the view under the bed where the tank goes
and here’s the new tank, in place but not fitted or connected yet.
There’s not a lot of room to spare at the head of the bed, but should be enough for the pipework.
