Lining The Shower/Toilet

I started lining the shower/toilet today.  I began with the inside wall then did the back wall so I could locate the shower taps.  On the back wall I have used the ply off cuts from making the cupboards.  This stuff would have just been wasted, and it will all be covered in PVC and sealed.  I glued and nailed all of the pieces onto framing, so once the PVC is stuck on,  it will be solid and very light.


I can't do the outside wall until after the electrical outlet on the outside of the motorhome has been connected, but I can cut everything to size ready to fit.  The shower head is a special design to limit water usage and of course is hand held for washing those difficult to get to spots!

I have set myself a target date of 14 March to have the whole thing finished so the race is on.  Next will definately be more varnishing.  None of the doors have been done at all yet, then the whole lot have to have a second coat.

I have to take the unit into Hobart on Tuesday morning to get a quote on the fitting of a security door.  Looks like its going to cost about $600 though.  They have to build a frame on the outside before the door can be made and fitted.  I also have to order the flyscreens.  These are special flexible screens that fit with Velcro. They are made locally too.  More on those later.
