Drained the oil, spilled it on the driveway, spent 1 hour trying to remove it and hopefully I was successful as I cannot see it clearly due to it being beneath the bus. Bugga.

Dot, we have some problems with the tyre monitors if they are not tightened correctly.

Today was a great day and I achieved plenty. Today I went and took a look at someone else's rig which was cut from the same manufacturers cloth. The great part about such visits and discussions is, you most often come away with ideas and leads on suppliers and materials. Today I managed to prove the theory that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, a couple of great ideas for me to copy and some leads on materials for use in my project.
Thanks Hans & Roz.

Still made our own set of mistakes that took for ever to rectify, finding a constant level plane to start all measurements from was the hardest lesson, first finding it and then rebuilding everything I'd got wrong. Our choice to use the existing wall and floor as the part of the cupboards made re-doing stuff very difficult as the Sikaflex 11FC is not easy to remove once it has set. The discovery that it is heat sensitive would have been a great thing to learn earlier on in the project, a hot air gun is much easier on already shaped parts than the hammer and chisel. The discovery of the now common place "Multi tool" would have made the whole job a heap easier. The time I and frustration I would have saved myself would have probably meant I'd have it finished now rather than half completed.
