The Vardo - Painting & Trim Part 2
December 29, 2015
We have now added more of the main trim and the flourishes for the back.
And we finally got the fenders on!
Next we added the trim around the windows.
The Vardo - Interior
December 22, 2015
The interior was completed in stages much like the rest of the vardo. First we completed the wall panels.
We pulled in a bed and added some drapes. There is a lot more to go in here but so far, it is looking pretty damn good.

The Vardo - Yule Decorations
December 21, 2015
I know we're right in the middle of the build posts but I wanted to share our holiday lights on time. Here they are!
The Vardo - Painting & Trim Part 1
December 15, 2015
The photos you'll see are in stages. As we had to work around the rain to get the job done. We started by selecting our base colors. We went with a deep wine as the body and a purple glitter paint as the bottom. We'll use the purple as accents on the windows and a nice green for the over all trim.
We applied two coats of primer and then two coats of the paint to see our finished look on the vardo.

The door we picked up at a Re-Store for 13.00 dollars. Eli had to cut the bottom off to make it fit.

We applied two coats of primer to the entire body.

After the board was applied on the top, we covered the top with some roof tap over the seams

The rubber roof covering was then applied. We added 2 coats of this over the entire roof.

The end caps were attached and next we move on to painting.
The Vardo - Roof Part 1
December 1, 2015
We started out by putting the frame of the roof up. we notched out the cross beams to hold the purlin beams. Each side was secured to the top of the walls.

Then we placed the plywood on top of the beams. The plywood was primed on both sides before adding to the roof.
We used nails and roofing cement to hold the plywood in place.

We will cover the seams with roofing tape before putting a coat of rubberized roofing material across the entire roof.
This is the look inside.

The Vardo - Walls Part 2
November 24, 2015
After deciding that he didn't like the look of the first set of tongue in groove, Hubby removed it and started again. This is how it went.
Our next step is the roof.

What is a Witch?
November 21, 2015
What is magic?
What is a witch?
We spend our lives trying to fit in a little box that people grade. Are we good witches or bad witches? Are we the right shape? Are the tall enough or thin enough?
I say you are a powerful magical being. Want to know what a witch is? Look in the mirror!

The Vardo - Walls Part 1
November 17, 2015
We opted to go with the already made tongue and groove siding. We tried to make our own but it was a bit over out wheel house, you can cut the price of the siding by about 2/3 if you make your on.
This was the first pass at the siding which hubby decided to redo. Below is our super cool window was got from the Re-Store.
This will be the bed. We put a couple of hinges on the underside so that we can lift it up for storage access.
This is the inside wall.
