Hi guys,

I promised you some pictures… so here they are… I think they’ll tell the story themselfs, so I won’t bother you with a whole story behind all the decisions and the little adventures… so here goes…

Here we are taking my new house to the right spot… ok, I admit… it’s not the most fancy trailer you can imagine, but it was cheap and decent

On the picture are Jan and Steven and Wouter in the back, BIG THANKS, guys !!! You really showed up!

As  you can see the tools of Vartago also work well for doing more than only transporting trees !!!

Here’s me acting stupid in front of the trailer… hey! at least I’m happy in my own crazy world, ok!!! hehe

After putting the trailer at the right spot I had to heighten the area, because in winter it gets too wet… so here is what I was thinking: “Hey with some strong hands and some wheelbarrows we can get the job done!”

For those who would like to do the same thing: Don’t! It would have takin’ me a month to get it all there… so quickly realising this I let the “groundman” do it with a machine… it only took him a few hours !!!

During the groundworks I crafted some basic furniture out of wood I found in the forest… it’s not fancy either, but it comes in handy and it looks quit natural I think…

To spend my time somewhat usefull I also improvised a cd-rack and a bookshelf…

And finally here are some pictures of the forest and the trailer, just so you get an idea of how everything looks right now….

Natasja, Peter and Jan, three good friends who really helped me out! Thnx again guys

Oooh yeah! Meanwhile the greenroof of the composting toilet is fully formed !!! It only took a month or two and I didn’t have to do anything… I just put some top solid ground of the forest on the roof and the plants started to grow by themselfs!!! Isn’t nature wonderfull ??

That’s it for now… hopefully the next weeks I’ll be able to come onlie and give some more updates, because it’ll go very fast now (hopefully)

Greeetzzzzz

And to finish some pictures
