It's just cosmetic, but I've fitted/glued dummy bolts to the panels corresponding to the exterior hardware, or where it was originally.

The missing corner panel had been filled, drilled, sanded and painted. I'll do a second coat tonight and aim to fit tomorrow. And fit all the remaining screws.
In the meantime lots of electrical stuff has started arriving.

This was a sod to fit. But all in now.
It's tightened up the corner slabs, so a gap has appeared in the very corner singing I was hoping to avoid. No problem, I used a tiny paint brush to fill with gap caulk. A dab of paint and it will be done.
So next job should be doing over the door, but I'd rather do the electrics now. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll work on getting power and ethernet from the CU to the hookup unit, and then to the first bit of conduct.

Something completely different.
I need to design a swing away hinge for a feature of the wagon. But it's fragile, so I need a dummy.
Some ply rescued from the old doors, and a few self tap wood inserts and I was set to go.
And the back of an old Dell rack mount server should have nearly enough rigidity to take the estimated 10kg.
I've some 12.5mm box on its way, so all I need now is some tight hinges.
A nice challenging sub project.....

20mm dia SWA is a pig to work with, but probably worth it.
So far I've accessed the house, recessed it into the path and am on target to get to the hook up box location. Only one slab broken so far. But I suspect that was cracked already.

The hook up unit is in, subject to inspection.
The socket was on the wrong side and so swapped with a 13a three pin socket and a cat 6 ethernet socket were added.
Next the CU.

Done. Electric and ethernet at the hookup. And have also been told that the box of electrical stuff has started it's way here.
Tomorrow, I'll focus on making good, cement, maybe a bit of block paving etc. And refitting skirting boards, but doing it correctly, not like the previous owner of the house.

No photos of the cu as the professional who fitted it didn't to a very tidy job. Before me. What do you do when it's safe. But a mess. Such a mess that you are just adding to the chaos.
I resisted the temptation to redo the job, but it is on the little list of aroundtoit jobs for the next decade.

The only rot in the inner roof breaks was over the door. I've replaced it.
Spare timber, I think it's ash.
A few more coats of sadolin 'natural' and it will be nicely sympathetic.

Over the door, using scrap from the floor.

I need to use the existing holes in the frame, but didn't have M10 short wood self tappers. So I made them.

Bit of sanding and vanishing. Done. I'll fill in the top next. Whenever.

Electrics box had arrived! Loads of work.
My first attempt at bending tube went well. Cheap £20 bender appears to work.
Kudos only for those who identify where the handle comes from.
I'm wildly optimistic I can get one bit of wire in today.
