Have you got a project that you have always wanted to do or one that has been waiting a while and you just never get round to?
Well, I have an old trailer that I am turning into a spare room (George Clarke style!) and it has already been sitting on my drive a while. So here is my challenge - 365 days to completion.
The Plan
May - All metal work prepped and coated with red oxide
June - New tyres fitted
July - base on and insulated
August - on holiday and there will definitely be no money to spare!
September/October - frame constructed, doors and windows fitted
November/December - roof and clad
Jan/Feb - insulate and electrics
March - inside boarded
April/May - internal layout completed
Want to join me and finally get the job done? Share your own project and swap tips and ask for advice.

NoI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -
Just a thought - aren't you going to end up doing the exterior work in the worst months? I'd imagine bringing the roofing forward might be prudent, for instance?0

does it take a month to change 4 tyres? the neighbours are gonna love you for building a room which looks over the fence.
Oh and by the way I hate that stupid program some of the conversions are utterly ridiculous, for instance the milk float with the bed in the back, or the caravan turned into a puffer fish, or the van covered in CDs. Most of them are unroadworthy deathtraps.0
