Shooting Overnighter......................in Style

[philpot 5,115]

I thought I would just show you lot what my son in law and myself have been building in our spare time. Now ready for selling to boost my pocket money or should I say Wildcat fund.

 

 

 

 

 

Just what you need for a night away shooting............................with beer fridge, gas hob, microwave, 240v hot water boiler, fold down TV, wind out awning and a comfortable double bed.

Nice job Phil

 

I hope you get to use it a couple of times before you sell it.

It was just a delivery van, my son in law used to build motorhomes costing around £250,000 so we have a guru in the team. We have made it to a high spec with no penny pinching whatsoever.

 

Thanks guys

It will be going on at £15k but understand this is not a sales ad, I was just showing something that I am quite proud of. It will be going on ebay soon.

Yep that £15,000 will go a long way towards that wildcat Phil

that looks custy nice job ?

[philpot 5,115]

That's true Mark BUT and there is always a BUT, there is a lot of dosh to go back into the bank account because trust me, when you build these things with quality products, it costs, OH MY GOD does it cost, £85 for a sheet of lightweight wood finish ply, I won't bore you with details as there are 3 A4 sheets of inventory lists in the file so the £15k will reduce by a very large amount.

 

We have had a few people look at the project whilst it was being built, saying things like, I might think of doing this myself......................they don't know the half. This is the third one I have been involved with but the first we owned, there will NOT be another and that is for sure.

We all slept in the back of transits as site lads, pissed up on a mattresses and getting £50 a night digs money for it - eh Si ?

 

I remember one night as a young 17 yr old apprentice working on The Scarresbrick Hotel in Southport as a glazier under a foreman called " Mad Bob",- feck me you didn`t mess him around .

Anyways Bob said to put the van ignition key on the floor and roll the van and wheel over it before the three of us, pi$$ed up, crashed into the back. About 4 am in the morning the van side got a flat hand- boom! boom! boom! wakey! wakey!

Two coppers looking to nick him for drunk and in charge of a vehicle,- he explained he had no key, produced his keys with the van key missing and proceeded to explain we had been told to sleep in the van until the morning when the boss would bring the spare one to us.

 

Mad Bob from Liverpool,- proper foreman of the old days.
