Bit of a delay on posting this - didn't have my camera lead! Anyways, enough of my forgetfulness and on with the bacon...Days 2 – 5 are a bit repetitive, so I'm only posting this once! Basically, I removed the bacon from fridge. There was a fair amount of dark liquid sitting at the bottom (see picture): excellent, the process is working! The belly also started looking more bacon-like, even after just 24 hours. Apparently, if there's not much liquid, your fridge might be too cold - try a cold room like a pantry instead.
I drained off the liquid and the really wet salt at the bottom. Then I took more of the rub and, well, rubbed it in. Then back to the fridge (with the weights on top) for another 24 hours. By the time it got to day 5 it was soo tempting to tuck in, but I waited... results coming soon!
