| 15th June - The Livos product here is called Kaldet Transparent Wood Stain - White This took a fair bit of time to put on evenly. It looks like a flat undercoat when it first goes on but with the Livos Kunos Clear this seals it and gives it a richer look. As the clear goes on, you can manipulate the whitewash coat underneath. |

 |
| 21st June - Nature decided to do a bit of white washing too. Minus 3. |
 |
| Father-in-law helping once again! The drawer fronts for the wardrobes are 9mm hardwood ply which are whitewashed like the walls. |
 |

 |
| 22nd June - Sanding the floors getting ready to oil. |
 |
| I used Livos Kunos again on the floor. 3 coats with the 3rd coat polished in with an orbital lambswool pad. |

 |
| 25th June - Building the drawer boxes for the Bathroom/ Hudsons room. I picked up some cheap melamine from a joinery company that had gone into liquidation. There will be almost 50 drawers in the bus. |
 |
| The crappy ply that i made the wardrobes out of looked pretty average and I didn't want to use paint or more ply to finish the inside off. So I bought an old bible from an op shop and Em used the pages as wallpaper. She used PVA glue and a roller. The pages have wrinkled a bit but that just adds character!!! I will put a clear oil over the top. |

1st July - Wood Heater installed and first burn. This is a Jotul 602N. It easily burnt over night (after I removed the welded bar that prevents you from shutting it right down) The Flue was custom build from a local sheet metal fabricator. Its a stainless flue with casings on the outside sections of flue.

| 2nd July - Attaching drawer fronts in the Bathroom/Bedroom area. again these are hardwood ply whitewashed with clear over the top. Getting these drawers right was a bit tricky because I made the carcasses while the bus wasn't level and the edges are out a bit. |
