The awning, waist and bottom rails I ordered from Jandi all arrived today direct from the Hymer factory in Germany. Jean had suggested that it would save me extra delivery charges to have it sent straight to my home. I had hoped the aluminium panels would arrive at the same time but alas they didn’t. I don’t know where I’m going to store them all while I wait for a sunny day.

Aluminium turned up today all in one roll! I had ordered and was expecting five 7 m lengths. Never mind it will probably mean more cutting but a lot less waste.

The Electric Shears arrived this morning so I took them in to work to try them out. They cut through some 1 mm thick brass sheet like a hot knife through butter so I think they should easily cope with 0.67 mm thick aluminium.
The only place I have to store all of this stuff is in the lounge, so Christine is not very pleased with me as apart from it all being an eyesore, the rails are a bit of a trip hazard at 7 m long!
Just waiting for the 2 mm thick rolls of insulation, the 4.5 mm blind rivets and the Lazy Tongue riveter to arrive on Tuesday.

Everything arrived earlier than expected so it’s all systems go.
