Well, It has been a while since an update.
I managed to get the truck all finished in time, sadly the banana bend was too much for Mildreds lowered running height, So Mildred ended up on the trailer (I will work on a way to fix this at some time).
Here is a picture all loaded up and ready to head off on 10 weeks leave.

First stop was the little village Ronda and I bought a holiday house in.
Here is a picture of the outside and of the inside of garage (after I had emptied the garage).
House obviously needed a tidy up and garage needed new rafters.

I have never done any carpentry type stuff on my own, I will say now that Bunnings videos and YouTube are fantastic.
So I had a crack at the garage first (I wanted to get Mildred out of the sun)

Being pleased with the result I decided I needed a small table in the kitchen to sit Microwave and little cooker unit on (so I could free up the kitchen table).
The garage was full of timber decking so I drew up some plans and used the decking as the top and braces.
I was very pleased with the final product.

Now it was time for the house.
I needed to replace window frames and under eave panels, I also wanted to add skirting around under the house so the dogs cant decide to hide under there when we visit again in August.
So at the end of the 4 weeks I was at the house, I did the above items and the house now looks like this.

This is the garage along side the house, the BBQ got a workout as it was my main cooking facility.

I also replaced the toilet, fitted hot water system and painted the toilet and shower (both in garage).
I also added a fence to the front of the property, so now with any luck our dogs wont escape.

I surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the little project and how i actually managed to do it (wood has never been my medium)
Next trip is 5 weeks in August/September and hope to paint all the inside and make a rear covered area (old one is falling apart) over the back door.
