The Adventures of Alice in wonderland blog#5

In today's blog i let you all take a peek inside Alice my truck/home on wheels.
Thirty years ago the truck rolled off its production line I believe it was originally manufactured for one of the big utility companies possibly the electricity board then around ten years later it was sold to a tile company, either to deliver tiles or used by workers. It was sold on eventually to travellers that converted it into a home complete with a wood burner. I ripped all the interior out when i bought it and created what your about to see.

Hope you Enjoy.......

Here's my log burner

When I bought the truck five years ago, at the time it was in a sorry unloved state and needing a lot of repairs. Its been an interesting journey not without its trials but certainly with many tribulations.
The saying "its not the destination that's important. It's the glory of the ride" comes to mind whenever I travel anywhere.

It was difficult living in the truck whilst converting it and i chose the Autumn to buy it, the cold the first winter made it very challenging but that hardened me to the elements.

This is the finished kitchen that i made from 4x2 solid oak for the frame and a 3 & 1/2 inch thick piece of western red ceder for the counter surface. The doors i made from one piece of sliced elm and the doorknobs were made from apple tree burs. Many hours were spent on the mosaic above the kitchen top as each tile was stuck piece by piece.

I will be showing you more of the interior in my futute blog posts so if you like this post upvote, resteem, follow me @happysmileyman
