We started building our kitchen benches and cupboards today! It’s been a busy weekend with lots of odd jobs completed on the bus. We’ve done some more waterproofing after discovering two unresolved leaks in the bus after yesterday’s rain. We’ve started sealing the plywood walls with a clear coat, although we’re now contemplating a subtle coat or two of stain and varnish (liming white). And tonight I applied the first of two coats of white ceiling paint throughout the bus. It’s progress on many different fronts at the moment!

@talesfromthewild Fantastic work. Keep it up guys, loving watching! Bronte progress taking shape in action, excellent @keiranlusk @littleearthstories
@natt_loui Thank you most kindly Nat! Ticked off a lot of shitty jobs this week that I’ve been avoiding, so am feeling pretty happy about that! Hope your recovery is progressing well!
There is light at the end of the tunnel! Well done guys
@lovebusaustralia Thanks so much! We are very much focused on the light at the end of the tunnel! Love seeing the pics of your bus adventures, a huge inspiration.
@talesfromthewild we will be cheering you on when you are ready to hit the road
Looking wonderful!
We used βBonaβ products – enviro friendly oils, stains, primers, sealers etc…for all our bespoke plywood cabinetry. Itβs amazing stuff and has s lovely natural finish. (Swedish product)
The rain. Is always a good litmus test. Loving the transformation Keiran
@talesfromthewild thanks, glad your progress on Bronte is good. I’m walking & very happy, lots physio, but its all good. Have a great week! Look forward to your next Bronte update π
Ahhh! Amazing. I LOVE watching this develop. Makes me want to work with wood. What an inspiration. Thank you!
@teaandredclogs Thanks so much Catherine! We already had a tin of stain and varnish at home, but I’ve just checked out the Bona range online for some of our other project needs. Appreciate the tip! π
@lisahurtmaker Thank you so much Lisa! My carpentry skills are rather unorthodox, but I really enjoy being creative and building things with wood. So I am most pleased to inspire others to do the same!
@suewhit Thanks so much Sue! Yes, the rain delivered a timely reminder to get the waterproofing right before we get too excited about the fitout! I’m now waiting for more rain to test my latest efforts with the waterproofing! π
Fantastic gallery!
