4. Making holes 

This was my favourite part of the reno so far. I’m changing the layout of the wagon by removing the section of rotten wall/floor and replacing it with a door. So instead of the entrance being at the end of the wagon you will enter from the side, which I think is going to be a better use of the space. 

Taking a jigsaw to the wall was a bit nerve-racking but it went well. After removing the rotten wall cladding I cleaned up the area, replaced the old floor boards with new ones and then cut back a section of the roof. Then I remade the roof and attached in the door frame. 

I’m so excited because my parents found a really beautiful old door with loads of character which I cut in half to make a stable door. So I fitted the door in (don’t try and do this alone it’s tough! Mum and dad thank you so much!) and it’s all looking good! I can’t wait to paint everything so it all looks a little more cohesive.
