porta-cabin - love shack

Housing is short.

The little red cabin got about seven upgrades so that it is more habitable. Then it was reserved during the workshops. And then for the period up to the workshop a family moved in. And then the family wanted to stay through the workshops.

Uh oh.

So one morning there was a log on the ground in front of the shop. By 7pm we had a "porta cabin": a little cabin on skids that we can drag around to wherever we want. Complete with a pocket rocket.





And yesterday I noticed somebody had made a sign for it that says "love shack"

(more images soon!)

The name of my room in college: The Love Shack

Here's a view of the cabin with the name sign. I'll try to get a pic with a better angle soon.

Wow, they did that in one day ? Another week and you should have a bunch of them !

The pocket rocket in the love shack. The pink-ish glow is where the fire is. The yellow light on the ceiling is from the flames.

I think a reflective device placed at the yellow spot would distribute the light for better illumination.
A mirror would send the light it in a single direction and polarize it. This is poor quality light.
Something that would scatter the light would be effective. Bright white glossy paper would do the trick.

More pics of the completed cabin.

If nobody is gonna stay in the porta cabin over the winter, I think I'm gonna repo those firebricks.

Tim has said that a window, insulation and interior walls will come later.

Here are the designs for the Love shacks RMH Does anyone have suggestions for this project or any improvements? Let me know. This design shows the RMH sans pebbles. The design also doesn't show the walls and door of the Love Shack. Also this is a six inch system.
