used a waterproof sealant around the
lights and window frames to ensure there
are no more leaks in the future.
The flimsy, thin aluminium caravan door
was replaced with a thick piece of MDF
that Caroline covered with a sheet of
painted and sealed pressed tin. Since
‘finishing’ the exterior Caroline tells us
that she has had a few little set backs due
to the movement between the original
ply and the patches causing some of the
paint to crack and that she has had to
spend more time reinforcing, sealing and
repainting those areas.
“I always thought I was nearly finished,
but then there would be something to
fiddle with and fix and it could take a long
time to do a small job!”
When it came to the interior design
Caroline says she got her ideas by
choosing the wall paper that she wanted
to feature on a few of the walls first. She
says that she liked the flower-power
inspired blue and green bold, floral
pattern from the Marrimekko range
straight away.
