So the masking paint worked really well and peeled off easily - definitely quicker & more precise than taping & paper - especially when spray painting.

The kitties don’t care about Memphis, and Memphis is more interested in chewing his leash.

The silver aluminium frames don’t suit our colour scheme so we are testing out this masking paint so we can prime and spray the window frames white.

Should be better than cleaning spray paint off the windows 🤞🏻

This evening as we work on the little details inside the caravan we are listening to a recorded court hearing of a wild series of murders in buttfuck USA.

Have to keep stopping to work out which child belonged to whom & who is married to whom & who is alive & dead.

So while it was fun having kitties at the workshop its become apparent that mama kitty is pregnant & we are now feeding her twice a day - she even accepted pats for the first time - we are working with a humane cat rescue on a plan to catch & rehome all of them.

If anyone can do it, the #vandolls can! ✊

Moving Day! And a good test for the repairs.

Cannot WAIT to get stuck into making over this exterior.

Interesting table

We decided that the cute mid century coffee table was a touch too small for the space - so will restore it & sell in the near future - but will somehow convert this table top into something

Brilliant! Love it. 👊 Go #VanDolls!
