Tarp

Successfully constructed a waterproof tarp of vinyl with the assistance of my friend Jason. It's on the trailer but not secured in place yet. I still need to finish the painting.

The interior view. I'm intending to line this with a foil bubble wrap insulation like our yurt is insulated with. Eventually I'll get around to insulating and finishing off the the wooden walls too. For now it's rain proof though. Yehhh!

Nearly Finished!

Well, at least I'm nearly finished with the exterior and that's what counts since rainy days are just around the corner. Tomorrow I will begin gluing together the vinyl tarp that covers the top.

Temporary tarp roof just in time for the rain to come. Next step: I picked up some bamboo posts to split into laths that I can steam bend to make the hoops for the roof.

Made a pattern from some scrap plywood to determine the round shape of the walls.

Starting the Walls

Laying the Floor

I salvaged the old insulation from the original Shasta camper.

Three sheets of plywood are screwed down to pressure treated 2x4, which is bolted to the trailer frame. Today I begin the walls.
