I was charged £20 for two sheets of 8'X4' panels and they are very high quality stuff too.

| Things are really taking shape now. After ringing what must have been every wood Saw mill in the area I eventually tracked down a wood importer (Warrington Timber) who imported 3.2 mm plywood, everyone else had 4mm but we felt that's too thick. I could have bought covered beach timber in the caravan dealers in Chorley but at £40 for a 6'X3' panel I thought I would give it a miss. I was charged £20 for two sheets of 8'X4' panels and they are very high quality stuff too. |

| These photo's show Annette making the template of the panels we need to cut out for the wall. she is using some old decorators backing paper and cellar tape to make the paper large enough to make an all in one template. | |||||||||

| Once again its cut it out with the jig saw and then a final sanding down until the panel fits. | |||||||||

| These photos show the panel now glued and pinned into position using Evo-Grip bonding cement and panel pins fired from a hand staple gun, the length of wood in the picture is to give the centre of the panel a little pressure to make sure it gets a good bite onto the foam behind it. Finally the panels are in place and are ready for decorating but first I must start to reseal the outside rails of the caravan. | |||||||||

| Finally the rear of the caravan is now sealed and all that is left is to replace the seating and then decorate, so I reckon its time to tackle the other side of the caravan. | |||||||||
