WWOOFer Wagon

The WWOOFer Wagon is finished at Louise's house! Its a bit cozy, some might say small, but I find it suits my needs perfectly. Note the breakfast porch. Kudos to Jamie and Armwrecker for their initial help and enthusiasm. You guys will have to come back someday to sleep in it.

The white shutters just below the roof can slide out when the weather permits (i.e. all spring and summer). I want to get some aquatic plants growing in that glass jug next to the porch. The roof is thatched cane over plastic with a wood and PVC ridge.

Interior view at night. The drawing is of my friend Andrea, another American WWOOFer from Dino's last fall. Please note the golden ceiling. That is mosquito netting laying on my sleeping bag in the foreground and above Andrea's double-head is a shelf for my clothes.

And just down the hill from my breakfast porch is my own personal bath house. Bath roof. Bath tub. My dear friend Tom Dawson came and visited from Paris and constructed a great waterfall that feeds the bathtub. He also helped me lay the stone steps which you can see in the background. I hope that vines will take to the cane pergola. Next project upon returning to Louise's: solar hot water heater to turn this bathtub into a HOTtub!

Meanwhile I'm here in Piemonte waiting for paint to arrive so I can start painting this mural...
ciao for now
