Inside the pod












After our return from the UK, work continued completion on the facilties inside the pod.The Bathroom and toilet are now complete. The images show the effect of the coloured perspex, and other detailing such as the custom made bath room cabinet.It was for me, difficult to get a good finish on the timber. The were problems with sissing- which I had never encountered before. The cold and damp air did not allow the varnishes to dry properly on the timber.

Keven built the cabinet from myrtle and blackwood selected by us from a small mill close to Geeveston. Phillips is just another small timber business that says Gunns takes all the timber for wood chipping leaving very slim pickings for cabinet makers and local builders. So who is it that likes Gunns? I have yet to meet them.

Hi Charles, Wendy Brooks gave me your blogs address. Very impressed with the design for the church, it looks wonderful. I have seen a few churches adapted for domestic use but they never seem to make the space feel intimate enough to be comfortable. The pod seems a great solution.

Have you met Kevin Perkins yet? He must live quite close to you. If so please say hello for me.

I've been helping Kevin McMahon and Wendy with the construction of a public art job for the Noosa Information centre and library.
