I had to ring AutoGlaze back myself, as they didn't call me, the boss was busy, so the lady on the phone said she would get him to call me back. I DID get a phone call back, but from the lady again, which didn't impress me much for the second time. They say things come in three's, well the quote was £30 plus vat MORE than he had told Jen before just for replacing the seals. Including tinting they wanted close on £200 inc vat. Five Valleys windscreens were prepared to completely replace the windows for that price, which I would prefer anyway as the vents wouldn't be needed.
So at the moment I'm back with Five Valleys replacing them, unless a cheaper option comes up again.
So, after the weekends good progress, nothing else has really been achieved. I am looking in to a pipe carrier, the kind you see on electrician and plumbers vans to carry long pipes or conduit. I want to fix it to Ninas roof to carry my background roll to shows. It would mean it would be up out of the way and safe, as the pipe carriers are lockable.
One thing I have been able to do as it could be done indoors, is make a start on the strip downlights that I want to fit above the blinds, lighting them up from the inside, a kind of mood lighting. It would also eliminate silhouettes from inside the camper part of Nina. Not that you can see much, just shadowy shapes with no particular form.
I had ordered 20 new Blue 12v LEDs from Hong Kong, they arrived a couple weeks ago. My idea is to mount them in electrical cable trunking, and tonight I made a couple up for the smaller middle windows.
Conveniently, the iPad is showing the blinds in the background ;).
They work very well, can't wait to see them in place. I've still got to wire them properly but think its going to work just fine :).
Well that's it for now, hoping for another big update at the weekend !
