Fit leisure battery isolater. Tick!

Purchase and fit IKEA wall unit on top of OS units

Top Panel OS units

Couldn't get a decent match in "oak" for the top of the fridge /cupboard units so opted for white as per the units. ( There will be a wall unit fitted on top of these base units so it'll all match anyway!). 

Trip to B&Q sorted a panel in white. Size needed was 1450 x 450 length of the panel is 2.5m so that leaves enough to make housing for Porta Potti! 

So once cut to size I needed to make a cutout at rear to allow heat to disperse from fridge! 

The base units have steel braces X 2 on the top of side panels. And the screws supplied sit proud of the brace. Which means to get the unit top to fit means recessing the braces into the side panels or making corresponding shallow hole for the screw head! Nowt bloody simple ever! 

Or by just screwing the top to the bases there is a small gap between unit and the top of about 2 mm max. White sealant !

Removed metal struts from units and fitted top via the same screws that held struts! Sorted .

If only I could find my countersink bit I could flush in the screws ! Another hunt required 🙄

I'd already decided to re use a small tambour door below the fridge but as the push button catch fell apart on the cupboard next to fridge, I'd had enough so took some measurements and a break at last! I've a couple of tambour doors that I can re use! A lot lighter than the door as well! Main one was only a few inches short of being usable for the whole cupboard, annoying but not a problem as I need to put a shelf in above the wheel arch anyhoo! So I'll just take it to the front edge of the cupboard and fit the other below the shelf! Or use a piece of the old door at the bottom as a stop, come to think of it, bonus of nothing sliding forward and hitting the tambour door! 

Result 22/02/22

Tambour door fitted with a little sanding of the edge 2mm to enable it slide easy into the spiral, just need to cut and fit a "pelmet" at the top to cover the door spiral. Saves a fair bit of weight as well than the traditional door.

Just a shelf to fit, then can move on to the cupboard at the top!
