Thanks so much Lloyd for everything you’ve done to stimulate my passions for freelance building & creating cozy living spaces. Good to grow older together through your writings. Here is my ’59 Chevy bus that I did in ’81. I lived in it for a long time, now it’s in my backyard in Santa Cruz, being a choice shelter for family and friends.
I recently finished the sauna and the WC. (Who needs a driver seat and steering wheel?) Toilet is plumbed in to the house sewer. Besides the bus being used as a guest quarters, it’s also my regular kick-back space.
Right now i am in the middle of converting the interior of my modest 130-year-old Victorian here in Santa Cruz. I grew up in the Netherlands and did quite a bit of traveling in the region. I decided to try for a farmhouse-feel interior. The 42 hand-hewn beams arrived from Pennsylvania a couple of years ago. I’m not rushing it. Half the fun is trying to figure it all out anyway.
Anyway Lloyd, thanks for responding, I’ve been a big fan of all your writings, from the get go!
Looking forward to saying hi next time you’re at Bookshop Santa Cruz, introducing your latest book!

Rolf/Lloyd…beautiful. Would love to see more photos of interior, and photos of your home as you “graduate” to farmhouse.
Thank you
Hey, thanks for inquiry! I’ll be glad to pass on some more pictures of the bus.
Rolf
Hi Rolf, enjoyed the photos of your kick-back space and your red ‘2-chevaux’. Reminds me of the farmhouse you stayed in when you farmed in St. Claude. I think I’ve got some photos of you when we were in Israel back in 1974/75. I can send them to you if you forward me your address. How are you coping with this Covid19 situation?
