Camper Build Day 1

What have I done?

I went over to the bus to start with an easy job, fitting a new lock to her front door.

I had watched this done before and felt confident that it would be straightforward. 3 hours later I’m still struggling to fit this lock, and I realise I have the wrong bolts and, not enough hands to hold it in place and tighten the bolts at the same time.

I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and disheartened. If I can’t even manage the first straightforward job, how am I going to tear this whole bus apart and completely rebuild it? How have I achieved so little in 3 hours and how am I absolutely exhausted? I call time on the bus for the day and go home to contemplate the massive mistake I might just have made in buying this bus and taking on such a complex project.
