Wood stove adventures
Okay, I forgot to take a camera with me this time, so we’ll have to make do with my humble scrawlings …
So, this weekend I set up my lovely wood stove. Easier said than done!
Trailer renovation progress report part 2!
At some point as I was working on the highest parts of the wall, I looked up at the roof, and there was a dozen dragonflies hanging around there, basking in the sun.

Renovation frustration
Stuck here. I’ve stripped the wall of the old panelling, fixed the insulation and replaced some rotten wood from the inner wall. But I can’t continue from there until my drill arrives, because the wall is in such bad shape that I need to use massive screws that go all the way through the inside panelling. I also can’t continue if it rains, which is what will be happening all next week if the weather report is correct. Nooooo …
Current obsession

But I probably don’t have the money, skill, space or time to do that. However, I suspect it would be fully feasible if I compromised and started out with something like this:

You can get those used for just a couple hundred euros, and if the structure is otherwise sound, all you have to do is painting, insulation, lining, and installing a stove and furniture. Then if all else failed, I could live the rest of my life in camping grounds and communes. Though I’d have to hire a driver any time it needed to be moved.
I have already decided that I would put a samovar above the sink for “running” water.
