Throbs a bit.

Should I burst it?

Remind me again, What colour is live?

#MegaVan #230v #vanconversion

MegaVan Update: 11

2 days of unpacking into storage!

I envisage many days of car booting & ebay'in

We've sooo much crap it's unbelievable!

I see a massive conversation into #sats in coming!

Tomorrow the #MegaVan will get nested into its permanent standing.

😁

My fitbit reduced my goals and now celebrates when I manage 6k!

(I'm now no longer behind a desk and hitting 10k most days thankfully)

MegaVan Update: 10

WE'VE MOVED OUT OF OUR PERMANENT HOME.

Yesterday we collected the #MegaVan (sans Taillift atm)

and loaded up with all our possessions and drove 250miles to our semi-final destination.

FAQ

Is the #MegaVan ready for living in? No. No where near. 😭

Where are you living then?

Roadside motel for a short time.

How's it drive?

Like a brick through custard!

But she's a beast! and I only had to crawl up a hill at 35mph once.

I have to keep in mind, she's got a bid ass and loves to swing it about!

🤣🤣🤣

Tbh I've already had a light collision with the yard gate post and scratched the side!

What a dufus!

Lawyers at Edinburgh’s High Court agreed on Sept. 3 that the 23.5 #BTC could be converted into cash for a total sum of $144,017 (109,601 British pounds).

The sum is around 10% of the current value of the 23.5 BTC, but is in line with the time of the robbery when #Bitcoin was trading at around $5,400.

WTF?

He DIDN'T have #fiat currency stolen?

How keeps the difference?

#fiatfraud

He's good, but has he ever picked up after kids have played with #lego all day or tanked the roof of a #MegaVan?

In both situations I near gave myself a hernia!

MegaVan Update: Day 10, 11 & 12

The Big Push.

Then Failure.

But we have a plan. Whilst the 3x Windows, Habitation Door & skylights are now in, it's lept ahead no end.

Insulation is on 3 main walls.

And I've even got 1 wall fully boarded with electric cables run for reading lights.

But progress now has to stop whilst We focus on relocating and moving out and putting everything either up for sale, into storage or into the MegaVan for when we actually move in.

It's going to be a few fun stress filled few days ahead.

To be continued...

Scottish prosecutors have seized and converted 23.5 Bitcoin into cash from a 2020 robbery that saw three men armed with a machete and a Toblerone chocolate bar break into a home near Glasgow.

So many questions...

A Machete is bad but have you ever bitten on a Toblerone and suffered a pierced mouth roof from the "delicious peaks of doom"?

MegaVan Update: 9

Regogy can go fk themselves!

I'm not wasting another breath on them!

Gonna get my good friend Andy and introduce him to the MegaVan!

Today we're going to put in the last window and complete the insulation!

God willing!

Took a few good tools but we got there.

Couldn't sleep and was up before the Sun this morning.

Then, it suddenly dawned on me.

MegaVan Update: Day8

Bit of background and reasoning for the MegaVan. Currently renting but it's too damn expensive, and in the wrong location as we would like our daughter to go to college in another county (4 counties away!)

Couldn't find a rental in the area and wasn't eligible to buy (straight up mortgage or shared ownership) even though we could afford a deposit.!?!

Started looking at static caravans, mobilehomes and finally settled on converting a 7.5t box lorry into a habitable dwelling.

We've found a serviced place to park it only 10 minutes from the college! And for half what rent or mortgage costs! It was a no-brainer, the only difficulty was we've gotta downsize, a house of personal affect to clear, a MegaVan to build and a relocation in less than a few weeks!!!

Some think we're mad, crazy or insane but many have shown support and lent a hand where they could. And the help keeps coming from complete strangers and friends of these now new friends, who all sympathise with our dilemma.

Thanks for reading this. I'll keep posting and updating until I stop getting likes ❤️

Today I cut 2 holes in the side and installed a door & another window!
