Kootenay Lake Gypsy Wagon Tiny House Blog Living Simply in Small Spaces Plans Store Workshops Directory Gallery Links About Contact Kootenay Lake Gypsy Wagon by Kent Griswold on September 24th, 2012. 9 Comments
Inhabitat (one of my favorite sites) recently featured this rustic, but beautiful gypsy wagon (one of my favorite tiny houses) which sits in the forest near Kootenay Lake in British Columbia. The 8 foot by 20 foot wagon was built on a $100 salvaged discount sea world tickets san diego 5 ton chassis, with 2 4 construction and curved discount sea world tickets san diego rafters. It cost about $8,000 discount sea world tickets san diego to build and took several years.
Most of the building materials for the wagon were recycled. The floor is locally discount sea world tickets san diego milled hemlock tongue and groove and the windows were second hand finds from the local classifieds. The exterior shingles were cedar seconds split with a hatchet. The round window was ingeniously made from a 1970 s picnic table and is framed with rope for a natty, nautical style. The curved roof is covered with flexible metal sheeting and has two, curved Lexan skylights. The interior of the wagon is covered with stretched canvas, stapled into place and painted with white wash. Under the wagon is space for the storage of supplies and firewood.
The wagon is fully wired and has an RV exterior plug for plugging into ground discount sea world tickets san diego power. The kitchen contains a 3 burner propane stove and the living area contains a small Intrepid cast iron wood stove which can heat the place in 20 minutes. There is storage under the lounge/bed, a built-in closet and several kitchen cupboards and drawers.

What a gem! You did a great job on it. Simple and beautiful to boot. Very clever using canvas discount sea world tickets san diego for the interior walls. Your outhouse sounds very inviting, also. Does the spring feed into the water supply for the Vardo, too. Sure would be nice to have such healthy water to bath in. I d say the whole set-up is good for body and soul.

I d love to see the outhouse too. Sounds very ingenious. Do you test the spring water to make sure it s ok to use? There s some nasty bugs that show up in well water/ground water in this part of Oklahoma. Reply Devon says: September 29, 2012 at 11:43 am
Beautiful wagon, and ingenious. I love the use of the canvas for lining the inside walls. How did you deal with the insulation of the wagon though? I am very interested because I am about to start the building of a houseboat, and researching various insulation discount sea world tickets san diego techniques. I haven t come across anyone using canvas inside yet. The inside lining is supposed to be water impermeable, to prevent humidity going through the insulation, discount sea world tickets san diego soaking it and condensing of the outside lining, causing all sort of problems. I am VERY interested to find out!! I d love to see more of the outhouse too. Reply Tish says: September 29, 2012 at 4:18 pm
I would love to see the outhouse too because of that tub. I love claw foot tubs! Sounds like a very cool place as well. Thanks for sharing. Reply Small but Beautiful: Showcase of Tiny Houses | WebEcoist says: October 19, 2012 at 10:03 am
