Mignon II is leaking. From the area we spent a week working on. I suspect the hammering and assorted cussing has cracked the seal on the roof vent at the over-cab bed.
All the new roof has to come down, the new timber frames.. the lot. Just to squirt some sealant around the roof vent.
To say I am mildly miffed is an understatement. However, these things are sent to try us. I wave a couple of fingers in the roof's general direction.
Sadly, the plan to have Mignon ready for New Year is a no-go. My airline interpreted 'I would like New Year off' as 'please give me the longest series of flights I could possibly get over New Year' and my colleagues with children work over Christmas and get New Year off. I'm sure if I saw it from the planners' point of view I would understand, but how on earth you can give 20 people exactly the opposite of what they wanted as opposed to giving 20 people what they wanted.... surely it must balance out somewhere.
Bleh. Anyway...
Just as well - poor old Mignon II is wetter than a cat's mouth at the first crack of a tuna can, and I don't have the time to fix it until next year.
I also discovered, only last night, that one of my cousins is a skilled restorer of VW camper vans himself. Nods to self slowly... !
