Being in a caravan in a heatwave is just like being in an oven, roasting at a high temperature. We've had both doors and all windows open, and curtains closed on the sunny side during the day, most windows open all night too. Had to go and buy a second, bigger fan (took 3 shop visits before I could get one). Still roasting, albeit at a slightly lower temp. Can't wait for tomorrow, when it's forecast to be about 8 deg cooler and raining!
We have very nearly finished all the work now.....the bathroom is done and looks SO much nicer. Small bedroom is almost finished, I ran out of paint when 3/4 of the way through the walls...we have another tin at home, husband is popping home tomorrow to collect a few things so he'll bring it back with him.
It's just a few odd small cosmetic things left to do now, which should mostly get done within the next couple of days. And then we'll be doing the garden during our next stay. Providing the weather lets us!
Ah, yes, I remember it well! When we were first married, we lived in a caravan in my parents' back garden. One very hot summer, with all the windows and the door open, until the farmer in the fields nearby started muck spreading. The doors and windows quickly got closed and we sweltered for the next day or two! At least you haven't got that to deal with.😂 You won't know what to do with yourselves when everything is finished. I guess you'll just have to RELAX! xx

ReplyDeleteHello Sooze, I found myself reading your blog posts backwards with avid glee! I am so pleased to read the joy and upbeat mood in your words with your new found caravan restoration! I write with envy as it’s what I really really want! One day! I’m here on my new iPad and it’s a bit differently set out so I hope my commenting works. Your before and after photos look amazing! One top tip I’ve had and used for cooling the air, and it might be worth a punt came from a how to cool your pet guide - have a shallow bowl full of ice with a little water in it and have the fan angled so it blows across it. I laughed at Betty on your newly made bed and I wonder if she ‘helps’ you to make the bed like Bluebell does……
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment I just published now x it does mean a lot. Enjoy every second of your holidaying …..maybe you could let it out on the qt to blight chums hahahaha joking x
