Hey lloyd
Was going surfing Last weekend and I pull up to my usual lookout spot and low and behold parked right there was this crazy truck/rv thing and could tell by the style who build the thing. Thought u might enjoy the pics.

From yesterday’s Oregon Live, one of Charles Finn’s cabins on wheels.
“The cabins’ size, he says, is chosen for ease of transport. The cabins can be left on the trailer or moved onto a foundation. The fully insulated cabins are equipped with, among other things, a wood stove for heating and a two-burner propane stove for cooking, and a pair of oil lamps. Doors and windows are reclaimed or handmade; the metal roof has a skylight, and the interiors are all wood, “of mixed species,” he says.
They have neither electricity nor running water. He writes, “And trust me on this, you won’t miss them. In fact, you will come to relish not having them. Hang out on even one snowy night with the wood fire going and oil lamps burning and you’ll see what I mean.”
The price varies, but he gives a ballpark figure of about $14,000, not including the trailer.…”
Charles’ work was included in Tiny Homes (pp. 174-75). His website here.

“1960 Fiat Multipla
The Volkswagen Microbus, Austin Mini and the original Dodge Caravan have all been hailed as revolutions in automotive packaging. But it was the Multipla that crammed the most people into the least space. Less than 12′ long, it seated 6. Captain chairs, cup holders and DVD players were not part of the package, but extreme claustrophobia was standard equipment. Sold for $66,125.”

Late Friday afternoon, I spotted these 2 little kids on the beach: Levi, age 18 months and Tyler, age 5. Parents are Chris and Allison Coolidge. They were sitting so the water would come in and get them wet. I didn’t know they made wetsuits this small. Look at Levi: gremlin in the making…
Never noticed the pattern of seeds before…
“AVIATOR WING DESK
$2195
Inspired by streamlined World War II fighter planes, our desk is a shining swoop of metal, its shape mimicking the bent wing of a plane. Poised as if for take-off, it features a polished aluminum patchwork exterior accented with steel screws, built around a solid hardwood frame. 3 canvas-lined shelves offer ample storage.”
