[ A corner next to the bed platform in Tyrava; it has a cabinet built into it, made from old weathered pallet wood. ] Lots of progress to post about! In between working on a 12×16 cabin for me & the business, I’ve been making improvements to Tyrava. Mostly storage; one of the big problems …
[A sturdy set of shelves, solidly made from old, weathered wood. They’re an extension to the tool shelves I made last month. They’re about three feet wide, a foot and a half deep, and seven feet tall, and already about half full of Stuff.] Lotta projects getting done, not so many pictures taken. Gonna work …
Having finished the bed platform itself, the next bit is the bed enclosure — just a bit of wall to demarcate the bed from the rest of Tyrava. [ About two feet along the left side of the bed platform has been framed with 2×2 boards, running from the floor almost to the ceiling. ]
[ Tyrava, seen from the side, takes up part of the driveway; parked next to her, and a little ahead, is a vardo perhaps half her length, green with blue trim, with two windows on the side. ] Not long after I got back from Colorado, I had a visitor, & so did Tyrava! My …
[ A meadow rising to rocks and trees; the sky above is cloudy. ] Having unloaded, but not yet having made contact with the realtor, I decided to find a spot in the national forest for the weekend. … for a fairly liberal definition of ‘forest’ but there WERE some trees.
[ Tyrava’s back doorknob, a fancy black lever, is fastened to a heavy-duty handle next to the door by a bungee cord. ] Not long after setting out — in fact, before I’d actually left the driveway — I realized that Tyrava was having a problem, which was that her back door wasn’t staying shut. …
[ A section of Tyrava’s inside walls. It’s about eight feet of wall, framed out with room for a couple windows. ] That’s where I started Tuesday morning. I had a BUNCH of boards, including a lot of short pieces left over from the other walls, so all I hadda do was cut & sand …
[ A 2 foot high, 4 foot wide hole in Tyrava’s side. It’s crooked. There’s an old-fashioned window fastened to the inside, which is also crooked. ] It’s warm enough to actually work outside again, at least for a couple days, so here we are. This window needs … it needs help, y’all.
[ That wall section that’s right next to Tyrava’s front door is done now, all the way to the top. At the base of the wall is a scattering of tools and stuff, including a rubber mallet, a drill and driver set, and a lot of screws. ] Last bits! [ A slightly fisheyed view …
[ Yes, it’s the same interior wall I’ve been working on for … a while now. The section closest to the camera is entirely unfinished, & the part beyond that has wall boards about halfway up. ]
