Camper Build Day 2

I return to Betty for round 2, but this time I have brought reinforcements in the shape of my lovely friends and neighbours Laurie and Simon. Laurie takes charge of removing all the stickers and decals from inside and outside of the bus and Simon undertakes the challenge of dismantling the safety bars that seem to be bolted in to within an inch of their life.

I tackle taking apart the fixed furniture and sorting out what materials can be saved and reused and what will need to go to the recycling centre. I’m amazed at how much we achieve in a couple of hours and remind myself how nice it is to have help. I’m awful at asking for help because I always want to do everything myself and also worry that I’ll inconvenience the people I’m asking to help me. I guess today’s lesson is many hands make light work, and are also more fun! Simon and I focus on the door lock to see if we can fit it, but again have to give up as we need different drill bits to make the holes bigger and are losing the light.

I’m happily exhausted and satisfied with the evenings progress. I feel I’ve earned my shower and look forward to doing it all again tomorrow.
