My s.i.l. has come up with a new version of a plan for my bed. I really like this one as all storage is packed in under the bed and can't shift while travelling. Also can fit more in there as not having drawers they don't take up wasted space.
It has a lift up lid specially made for under a mattress with air vents and lift up (is it hydraulics, things to make it move slowly up and down)

He's starting on it tomorrow.

looks great HW, in regards to your cap, I think you should also get a coat for Punky with HW on the side, don't see why you should have all the fun.

is this the type of thing you were looking for?
these are just samples, you only need one for a cap.

Gosh you are clever wombat. I was thinking more a nearly writing but just the letters H and W in capitals

OK will try, back soon, r u going to get a coat for Punky?

try this one, do you know the name of the font you want?

you also really need a block type font to make it stand out, be aware that some fonts only come in capitals

have a look here for fonts. http://www.1001freefonts.com/ or here http://www.urbanfonts.com/

Sorry, posted a pic in the wrong site

Just heard from Joan'

She is OK, she is staying with her daughter in the next suburb to Townsville, 5 adults a one baby, I told her I'd let you know

Thanks wombat, I sent her a message on facebook and just got the same reply. Glad she's safe. The top one you did in the last purple post you put up is exactly what I want. Mind you he has the machine and the caps so wil have to go with what ever his set up is, its a portable van that he travels around with by the look of it. Why is this page stretched out so far when there is no large photos stretching it?

HW, grab the one you want, print it and tell him you want it like that or as close as he can get. my page is not stretched

r u going to get a coat for Punky with the nake on the side?

No won't be getting a coat for Punky, she wouldn't wear it in the heat anyway. Trying to conserve money to pay for all the bits I need for the van or I won't be going away this winter with it all set up. Maybe half set up and the rest done in time for next year.

Poor Punky, some nights are cold.

Don't worry Wombat, if she's anything like my two, she'll be under the covers with Marj when it's that cold.

They make great Hot Water Bottles.

Cheers,
Sheba. 

She sleeps on the bed now Sheba and if anything like Mindy was will get under the covers when cold.

Back door of my van. What do you think guys. Have noticed people leaning forward on their steering wheel having a read.

First stage of the bed frame.. s.i.l. now has to attach all chipboard to it then bolt it to the floor.

Thought so Marj.

And I love the "Attitude".

Cheers,
Sheba.

 

if you use Punky as a hot water bottle as suggested by Sheba, where do you put the water in?

HW Those two pics look great, but I can't see the grey Nomad sticker, and you will have a lot of space under that bed, real good for the traveler.

Its still sitting in my handbag wombat, keep forgetting to put it on, will do that when it fines up. Heavy rain and thunderstorms here at the moment. Aah!! Punky doesn't need hot water, she runs on hot blood.

Off-topic for the moment guys.

Hope you and every-one in Vic. are ok tonight Marj.  Just been seeing Melbourne flooding from the tail-end of Yasi.   We were very lucky where I am.

Cheers,
Sheba.

I see your bed is already made

You are too clever for me wombat, that is very well donw. Vic has been drowned overnight with heavy rains and thunderstorms Sheba. They are now saying it is the remnant of cyclone Anthony, not Yasi. But I know it was rough. Heard on news all roads closed between Geelong and Melbourne. 84 people rescued already from flooded cars and houses. Its quietened down to a steady rain now, not the torrential rain it was last night. and not supposed to clear till tomorrow. I won't be going out the door today. I think Melbourne and Mildure were the worst hit.

no need to wait now, you can hit the road

The bed is now finished and in the van. Have all my bits bought so far stacked inside under the lid. Will get the mattress next payday. Have to get some rubber stoppers for the lid to rest on. No photos as pouring with rain all day. Also have to get some plastic containers for packing food and essentials in ehich will go in there too. I said to the kids (daughter and s.i.l) I could hire it out as a coffin hire the way it looks at the moment. They reckon just put a base in it and I have MY coffin.

OK so we know where you want to go when you die

And where would that be wombat.

Under your bed in your van

All shaping up nicely mate and I do like your sign, very stylish.

OK, why have u not done any updates since we left?

Need to c more pics

You would have read my new thread re new Van. Disappointed in the way the Combo was going,

no, going 2 look for it now
