Back!

       I'm back in business after suffering a stolen camera (lesson - don't leave the car doors unlocked all night) and general lack of internet connectivity due to our recent transition to "camping out".   Now that those issues have been remedied (new camera, internet hooked up in the camper today!)  here are some photos of the "house" I've been working on when I probably definitely should have been working on the House.  Nonetheless, It's cozy living and we've got a firepit again.
       So, you may recall, I got an old Airstream "Argosy" a few months back.  It looked a little like this inside, only in the photo you can't see how dirty it really was.  You can't smell it either, which is to your benefit.  
I tried to just clean it up and move on (or rather, in) but got carried away and gutted it.  
....then a quick and cheap remodel....
...some new built-ins, and voila - home...

Dad and I tore down one of his old barn-sheds that collapsed in last winter's snows and I used the wood and the metal roofing to put a quaint little front porch on the side that closes up with curtains for private outdoor showering...
and of course, the firepit
