125 - But Wait Another Twist

Yep, you guessed it, the sale of this CP has more twists and turns than a Nancy Drew mystery.

As it stands the main punter is running out of options, and has till 5pm Monday 31st to come up with the goods....so it all looks very dodgy.....ho, he ho, hum!!!!!!!!!!

But alas!!!!!! lurking in the back ground is one of the original punters, who has been lying in the trenches, who we now find out it just waiting for this other punter to fall over, and will come in all guns blazing...........yeah! yeah! yeah....heard it all before.

We don't really care, who buys the joint. We just need some sort of concrete path of who will be the new owners and when, so we can put our travel plans together. So the long and the short of it is, we will be either going late November if the main punter wins the race, or around 22nd December regardless, if it is sold or not.

Stay toooooned for the exciting adventures of the sale!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's an up date on the RetroLiner

* Finished off the power supply for the Coleman HWS
* Added a couple of brackets on the water carriers to hold the shower attachment
* Sprayed Lanolin on the scissor arms and new drop down legs
* Fixed up the peeling vinyl on the boot and prettied it up with some extra striping
* Secured the bolster arms above the boxed in wheel arch

So basically we are nearly finished.

However I have decided not to paint a big stripe down the side of the RetroLiner, but to renew the striping that was originally there, with different colours. We have a theme of yellow and blue. Plus I am still waiting for the new LED lights.

Now we go back inside to mask up for the painting of the ceiling. Yuko!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will save all photos for when she (RetroLiner) rolls out of the workshop.

Keep watching!!!!!!!

Cheers & beers

Sorry to hear you are being messed around by experts. I thought we would be leaving at the end of November until the co-pilot came home and said the director of nursing is still not back and they are short staffed and looking for more nurses AND maybe she should stay on longer to help out...
Geeeeez!

Ha!ha!ha!........the best well laid plans are always subject to that curved ball being thrown by somebody.

As I write this the deal for the CP is sort of done, however just waiting....waiting...waiting, for some last minute approvals.

Will know more by early next week.

Ho he ho hum!!!!!!
