Finally the weather has improved a bit and I can get the covers off and make some progress. The main task now is to get the roof on.
First I need to cut it out of the caravan, and this didn't take long with a Sabre saw.
Now is just the small matter of moving it. Obviously this is a bit awkward, its not too heavy but cumbersome. I made up some T bars and the idea was to walk it into position along a plank. First though I had to get some help and Tubs just happened to be in the pub. So a quick ish pint or two and we set about moving the shell.
Here we are almost there and all going well. We didn't nearly drop it and the acrows didn't fall over just missing us, the T bars were fab and our judgment was not at all affected by beer, honest.
One more push and it on and fits like a glove.
Its starting to look more tangible now and Tubs kindly models on one of the potential seats, a future beer drinking moment. Well I think all that deserves a beer, so thats it for now.

Funny looking spare room!
Roof looks mighty fine, still a bit drafty around the sides though... Would you like me to design a WWI lozenge German airforce camouflage colour scheme for it?
Wow now there's an idea.
