The sink and hob went in today. Looks good, but making the cutout in the worksurface was not helped by the drawing provided by the manufacturer. How is anyone supposed to cut a curve with a radius of 2258.4mm?!!!! Next job is to build the drawer units under the sink/hob - I sourced some metal drawer sides yesterday and have designed the unit tonight - just got to cut some wood tomorrow but only if the weather's ok as I don't have a workshop here in Leicester (although I have been know to cut small amounts of wood in the shelter "under the truck"!).
The special "folding sink" in the wetroom is in and plumbed - just need some templates to cut the hole in the sidewall for the loo cassette before the front wall/door can be made and fitted. Still not sure about the design of the door, so I went and had a look around a caravan showroom - it's interesting to see how they're built - but they're so flimsy!
The air heater is now all but complete, the water heater is still to be fitted - although I got it fired up a few days ago - it heated a large bowl full of water up to steaming in about 5 minutes and used only a tiny amount of diesel. At 5kw the water heater has lots of spare capacity, so I'm linking it to a small radiator with a fan to blow extra warmth into the living area (I've just noted that it can get "quite" cold in Jordan in winter - as in below freezing - and parts of Turkey aren't going to be too warm either). Only problem is that the unit that I've sourced has a VERY noisy fan - luckily I've got a a spare fan from the bedroom ventilation system that will replace the original noisy unit without too much work.......
