<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">These pictures are courtesy of Bob Wallhagen who started construction on TinySol in the spring of 2012 in his backyard. The solar roof was powering construction (air compressor for pneumatic tools, table saws, battery charging for cordless power drills and radio for the entertainment of builders Bob Wallhagen and Alex Lane) by August of 2012. In October it had a finish floor and was complete enough for a road trip to Poughkeepsie NY and served as a shelter for a week. Construction halted for the winter of 2012/2013. The kitchen, beds and pontoon boat were under construction during the spring of 2013. It was finished for Carlisle's Old Home Day 2013 (Friday, June 29th, 2013) and launched on Lake Winnipesaukee on Friday, July 5th, 2013.</span><br />

I'm in love with my <a href="http://c-head.com/" target="_blank">C-Head portable composting toilet</a>. It has extended the cruising range of TinySol and it allows anchoring overnight in out of the way places devoid of civilization. It's small, easy to use and best of all does not smell at all. It doesn't need ventilation so it is very easy to install.<br />
<br />

Installation was as easy as removing a 15 inch section of the baseboard,<br />

Just finished week 9 at <a href="http://3mile.org/">Three Mile Island Camp</a> and realized that their huts for campers were a big part of the inspiration for TinySol.<br />
<br />
The huts are small, spare and right on the water.<br />

My cue for the interior came from the Clivus Multrum at Three Mile Island which is called the Castle. It's finished in a bright knotty pine like the AMC White Mountain huts.</div>

Jim, the waterfront director at Sandy Island Family Camp <a href="http://www.bostonycamps.org/overnight-camp/sandyisland/about-sandy-island">http://www.bostonycamps.org/overnight-camp/sandyisland/about-sandy-island</a>, introduced himself as I passed through the Hole in the Wall. It turns out we were both headed to 19 Mile Bay. However it was so windy that I wasn't able to dock there and had lunch and sent out my monthly invoices in the lee of Farm Island. After Jim finished his mountain bike ride he stopped by and invited me to Sandy Island for a meal and to do a show and tell of my Solar Tiny House Boat http://tinysol.blogspot.com I tried to go up wind back towards Sandy Island, but the wind was too strong. Fortunately Dick Rollins noticed my conundrum, I was drifting even with an anchor. He waved from his dock and indicated I could tie up there. After I made fast with Dick and Sylvia's help, we chatted a bit, I gave them a tour of Tinysol and they invited me to dinner. Sylvia prepared a wonderful meal and we chatted until the late evening hours. I thanked them for their hospitality, and retired relatively early as I intended to wake before down and before the wind picked up again. The next morning, yesterday, I made it to the mooring field at Sandy Island before sunrise. Jim had said that there would be an empty mooring ball for me. After an early breakfast snack Jim ferried me over to the island I enjoyed a full breakfast in the dining hall. Mid morning Jim and I brought Tinysol over to the main dock and the rest of the day I hosted and answered questions of anyone who was curious enough to come aboard. I would say a good chunk of the campers came by, toured Tinysol and asked all kinds of interesting questions. That evening I had the wonderful opportunity to play some harmonica in the talent show with Shane on guitar and vocals and Mike on drums! Thank you Jim for inviting me and thanks to Kate and all her staff for a wonderful welcome, great food and a special thanks to all the campers who expressed such interest in solar energy!</div>

I've been fascinated by mobile homes. I liked the idea of being able to move about without packing and unpacking. I wanted a vacation home, but I didn't want to commit to one location. I didn't want to pay property taxes. But the more I looked at mobile homes the more I realized that they smelled to much like plastic to be able to live in them. So I came up with the idea of a Solar Tiny House Boat. Here are some:<br />
