There is now a huge sliding glass window where the back stage panel used to be. I'm enjoying the sunlight coming through.<br />
<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Over the past three years I’ve been traveling in my tiny house/stage while continuing to build on the road between odd jobs. As amazing as this process has been I am finally ready to have a home-base to work from. My partner, Marisa, and I were contemplating buying a house. We were even approved for a loan, but the houses we saw that we could actually afford weren’t well built and/or there were too many problems to fix. And even if we could have been approved for more, we weren’t interested. The last thing either of us wants is to spend the rest of our lives working our asses off to pay for a mortgage. We don’t want to be trapped under high utility bills. The realty experience in and of itself was reason alone to NOT go through with the loan. And who wants to give banks money these days? They have far too much as it is… We thought buying a house would be easy. We planned on fixing one up and then selling it in five years to begin our dream place. But the reality is that buying land and building our dream place is just more practical…<br /><br />So we are in the process of buying land. I found an intentional community in Ash Fork, Arizona and called to find out if the owner would be interested in selling us some of her land. I called a few places in Arizona. She was the one person who seemed genuinely interested and actually kind of excited about having two more crazy off-grid types out this way. Her intentional community hasn’t panned out well, most likely due to the remote location. We are an hour west of Flagstaff Arizona, but it takes an hour and a half to drive there because the roads into our place, which I affectionately call our driveway, are so rocky and rough that it takes thirty minutes to get to the house.<br /><div class="MsoNormal">

We arrived August 2. We’ve been getting Rosie semi-set up (I
will later pour some concrete for a more level and secure foundation), by
stabilizing her with jacks, putting our plants out in the front, setting up an
outdoor kitchen space and solar shower, and building a compost bin so we can
use our compost toilet. As much as I have loved the traveling process, pulling
Rosie was not easy. She is heavy and big – built like a house… but on a
trailer; she’s kind of a monster back there, one you love and are scared of.
She sways in windy weather even with the distributors; you have to be extra
careful going down these mountainous roads, and going up means downshifting and
going slow in hot weather so the truck doesn’t overheat. I’m so glad to finally
have her in one place… for good! No more moving, unless it’s just a few feet or
so. I am HOME! Exciting for me, since I feel in some ways that I’ve always been
searching for home, hence a home on wheels.<o:p></o:p></div>

At some point I plan on opening up the stages and
stabilizing them permanently. Then I would like to put in some glass to
separate inside from outside, with a door that leads to my little stage/porch
area. I’ll put some sort of canopy over the top to protect the stages/porch and
then I’ll add more footage area – possibly extending it to the other side as
well – a wrap around stage/porch if you will. I’m also thinking about building
up, creating a pitched roof so rainwater is easier to catch and creating a loft
area. I think about all the hard work I put into making a pulley system for the
stages and I start to re-think all of this, but the truth is, even if I change
my plans so that the pulley system isn’t needed, it was an amazing learning
experience. <o:p></o:p></div>

But for now, we are homesteading, which means focusing on
building more tiny structures (not structures with stages) to live in, play in,
dream in. We have no electricity or water. We are hauling water for now and
plan on building a rainwater catchment system. We need to focus on solar panels
as well… There’s a lot to do! So it may be a while before I work on Rosie
again. But when I do – I’ll make sure to document!! <o:p></o:p></div>

Hello,<br />
Since my last post I noticed some 2,000 folks have visited our blog. This subtle form of cheerleading is very welcome, I need it today. I am stuck on the couch with the local bug. I am frustrated because I cannot give massage when I am sick and thus cannot make income and thus cannot purchase Foxy's next need. It's one of those Monday blues moments, but on a Thursday.<br />
<br />
So instead of be insufferable, I thought I'd reminisce about my recent excitement. I decided to use my winter vacation to work on Foxy. Instead of motorcycling in Santa Barbara, I had three weeks of work time, unadulterated by other occupations. I filled Foxy's front room with amenities, appliances, creature comforts-- okay, the skeleton of comforts. It felt good to concentrate on one thing, building. Well, let me explain what I mean by "concentrating on one thing": learning biscuit joining for cabinet making, learning how to reinstall a fresh water system, learning how to install propane lines, learning how to (not learn) waterproofing windows, and then installing these components and all the mini details... that is what I mean by concentrating on one thing. Oh, I remember the days when I had a dance umbrella-- where I did lots of different things but the underlying topic was always the same, always in my area of expertise, always about dance.<br />
<br />
Speaking of dance, the point of the last paragraph was to explain January's new feeling-- excitement! All the work achieved in a short time moved me closer to the light at the end of the tunnel, the completion of Foxy. I felt momentum, I felt confident, I felt enjoyment, and for the first time... I started imagining what I will do with Foxy when she is done.<br />
<br />
So here I go, imagining.<br />
<br />

I will drive the trailer up to the mountains, let's say to the state lands above Lake Wenatchee. There will be snow on the ground, a babbling brook nearby, and sun. I will spend three weeks making dance works, maybe editing video, eating yummy food, filling a tub for a bath outside in the snow, then journaling and making choreography notes. I will do this for three weeks. THEN, I will start to picture a business model for my work, I will start to make choices about how to use Foxy.<br />
<br />
I imagine parking uptown at the local art walk every first Friday, and setting up a dance gallery. Let's say it is raining, no worries. Myself and dancers are dancing in the studio, no stage walls open. Spectators can view us from the windows that are framed by mirror-ish aluminum, enabling strange viewing angles. For more views, spectators can climb on ladders, or view from the inside door.<br />
<br />

All the locals can haul their mini homes out of the moss banks for all to see. Like the Feria in Sevilla, Spain, each home-owner can host their own events-- in Sevilla it is flamenco and amazing cuisine, but here the events can be at the mini home-owner's discretion. It'll be a roadhouse extravaganza of strange dreams, in a parking lot!<br />
<br />
I imagine a debut performance on the lawn at O Space on Vashon, at Volunteer Park in Seattle. I remake my thesis performance for Foxy's stage. I invite some of the original dancers in the piece to dance with professionals from Seattle. It will be the performance I dreamt of in grad school.<br />
<br />
I imagine driving to a city location, say Portland, with dancers I hire for a dance video. I shoot the film and download it to Foxy's computer lab, and the editor I hire starts editing while we rehearse. Then we eat, take a hike in the city, sleep.... and repeat.<br />
<br />
I imagine visiting a mountain town, say Twisp, WA, invited for a residency by the local arts organization. They lead me up the local's favorite fire road, to a beautiful mountain top, where I park Foxy. They give me locals who want to learn improvisation and make an original work. After a couple weeks, the friends and neighbors hike to the trailer and see a mountaintop dance piece made and performed by their friends.<br />
<br />
I imagine a professor position, teaching dance, choreography, improvisation, history, anatomy, somatic conditioning for dancers and building through an interdisciplinary department. I imagine residencies at other colleges doing the same, but teaching with my colleague and cofounder!<br />
<br />
Over and out. -Hallie<br />

Today I completed the window waterproofing project that has gone on since last summer. I added rubber window corners, seen below. I also caulked the newly installed corners with Sikoflex. This final step couldn't happen until it stopped raining so the sealant has a chance to cure. I took my chance and caulked it today.</div>

<br />
<br />
The Sikoflex caulking happened today, but the appliance installation occurred over the last few weeks. I got word from my property host that I had until the end of January before I had to move my stuff. So the bf and I cancelled our vacation to Santa Barbara, and I had a full three weeks of free time to get busy. (Don't worry, vacation has been rescheduled.) Being the dead of Winter in Seattle, I admit the cold is temperate compared to most places. Nevertheless, it was c-c-c-cold. Thankfully, it wasn't very rainy.<br />
<br />
I began by installing the fridge/freezer. That 3-way fridge/freezer is worth more than the entire RV. I thought about finding a smaller fridge, until I remembered a summer without ice. Here it is, the fridge camouflaged amidst the Roxy's interior plywood. You can see the dance room through the threshold, and the future bathroom, which I am leaving until a later date, is between the door and the fridge.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaQvcritpuzyDuC79ftNBfbksjojs2mN31L6ElcVJdHax_7BUXUwTMzIamxYUvaEhVQtpQEgNi0Tn2GrsAF_JWXHQwkrxdhNpNZJblpsrB1_-FiWfhvw-sHhEzYnaEVOuTGykvYT2-FHBw/s1600/fridge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaQvcritpuzyDuC79ftNBfbksjojs2mN31L6ElcVJdHax_7BUXUwTMzIamxYUvaEhVQtpQEgNi0Tn2GrsAF_JWXHQwkrxdhNpNZJblpsrB1_-FiWfhvw-sHhEzYnaEVOuTGykvYT2-FHBw/s1600/fridge.jpg" height="320" style="cursor: move;" width="212" /></a><br />
<br />
Next, the stove, sink, and water tank. This is not standard cabinet construction; I used 2 x 4s to secure the structure due to one problem, the tank. In order to allow tank removal, I had to keep the corner column off of the ground. Other than that, the construction went one - cut - at - a - time. Result, a very square support. The sink and stove fit!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA8eQz_khhJDgUaRiTEurDY29zDCzkfv9oDtEsaYxoxB4k80d8zB5JdUxLXspFwWC9F2X1Ot1rOOLZOXOlV6ZhF9CoRQwcPuAe4VSedk8pcO56B4AKtx8YSjyiWxremVTOTE69DxJYeK_o/s1600/kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA8eQz_khhJDgUaRiTEurDY29zDCzkfv9oDtEsaYxoxB4k80d8zB5JdUxLXspFwWC9F2X1Ot1rOOLZOXOlV6ZhF9CoRQwcPuAe4VSedk8pcO56B4AKtx8YSjyiWxremVTOTE69DxJYeK_o/s1600/kitchen.jpg" height="212" style="cursor: move;" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Then I roughed out the bench seat. To my delight, it turns out to be long enough to sleep on comfortably! The supports pictured below were made with a biscuit joiner and glue. They are not installed, just there to show two voluminous storage compartments. During the wood construction phase I discovered myself hopping out of Foxy and literally running to the mitre saw. I loved cabinet making! Next, the water heater. I cut a hole in the exterior, then slipped the heater in. It is in the center compartment, below.<br />

<br />
<br />
Appliance installation is not complete until the appliances are usable. Above you can see a bunch of hoses on the ground. The hoses are part of the fresh water system that I installed with the help of a borrowed crimping tool and some new copper crimp rings. Below is the exterior locker that connects the fresh water system. From left to right, you can see an exterior shower unit, the pressurized external water hook up (as in a garden hose), and the tank intake.<br />
<br />

<br />
Next, the propane. Using iron pipe for beneath the trailer frame, and copper pipe for inside, I retrofit the RV system to Foxy's needs. Randy, the fabricator who built Foxy's metalwork showed me how to use his pipe threader.<br />

Bad news, my beloved DIY door failed me. The plexi glass is very thin and thus very brittle. I suspect it broke after repeatedly closing the door. To add insult to injury, the exterior shingles started falling off. Result of all this DIYwork: I will probably buy a new door anyway.</div>

Since then, the rains proved to me that I was NOT finished with the exterior. Last summer I installed the plexiglass windows but the aluminum window frame seemed to leak. After moving Foxy (a fourth time), most of the fall was spent trouble shooting, sealing, then removing sealing and re-sealing the window frame. I resolved this leakage with rubber/aluminum flashing strips. I am waiting for the next heavy rain to see what happens... so far, so good.<br />

Sarah warned me to super-weather-proof every crack and crevice. After all the flashing was installed last summer, the only leaky gaps were in the top corners of the stage walls and, well, every inch of the lower stage wall edgesI designed and ordered aluminum flashing for these areas, fashioned to be removable by using latches and gaskets. As with most problems on this project, each section's gap is unique. This means I have to custom order gasket/tubing for each one. Gaskets are expensive, so I have to wait until I can afford it. So the gasket project is temporarily on hold.</div>

You fans of DIY will love to hate the story of my beloved door. In my last post I showed how I removed the RV door and put it into Foxy the MPD. The next step was just as fun: tiling the door exterior with PBR cans. I've wanted to do something with recycled cans since EcoDance started three winters ago!<br />
<br />

<br />
The door's final 2 steps: to cover both sides with plexiglass. The door needs some sheer strength, so the plexi provides it. But, alas, a brisk windstorm blew the door off Roxy's hinges before I could pick up my plexi order. I am glad to see this happen with Roxy safely parked, rather than by watchibg it fly away from the rearview mirror on the highway. And then salt to the wound: I picked up the plexi but it was too wide. Arg! I must go back to Tacoma (everything is two hours away when you live on an island, thus the Arg!).<br />
<br />
The flashing project and the door project are on hold. So, I started demolishing the parts RV. I have no experience with propane appliances and DC electrics; I avoided the demo project up to this point. EcoDance continually teaches that there is nothing like action to teach you what you need to know. As it turns out, removing a stove, electrics, a breaker box, a sink, a water heater, a water pump, a water tank, and plumbing is doable. I still need help moving the fridge/freezer (which wont seem to budge) but everything else has been removed! This project makes me value my decision to buy a parts rv and cart it around with me for a year. The propane/DC/AC fridge-freezer alone is worth more than than I paid for the RV. All those parts add up, and I'd say I saved at least $1000 by transferring the old (but in good condition) stuff to Roxy. Eventually I can sell the RVas a flatbed frame, and maybe fund the cabinets, appliance, plumbing and electric installation project that is coming up. Guess what that means? After three years, I see the light at the end of the tunnel.<br />

It was cold in Ludington much of my stay and I wasn't able to live in Rosie through the winter but in May I happily moved back in and began working again. One of the first things I did was to attach a ladder to the outside of the structure so I could climb up to the roof with ease.</div>

One of the difficulties with building on the road is that you are generally in a hurry and fighting the elements. When I left Champaign Sept. 2011 there was a gap between all three stage panels and the roof, which meant there were waterproofing issues with one side area and the back of Rosie. </div>

In Texas I used some reclaimed flashing to cover the gap to help with the rain. It was not a pretty sight, but it worked for a while.</div>

Now I finally had some time and a little more money to build out and to install some weatherstripping between the tiny space that was left. It felt great to tear off all that old flashing!</div>

The next project was the roof - again! I was warned that flat roofs were not a good idea, but I tend to be really stubborn. I did NOT want a pitched roof - meaning I have paid the price for not listening... yup - puddling and leaking. I should add that there was a 2" incline on one side but the plywood got rained on and some of it expanded and contracted before I had time to attach the galvanized steel - and because I needed to move there wasn't enough time to tear it off and start over. So a year and a half later I'm having problems with the roof. I am grateful to Mark Fisher for coming out and helping me install a corrugated roof over the flat roof. So far so good:)</div>

After adding the flashing around the edges for the roof more water than usual began streaming off and hitting the windows and door. I used some of the old flashing to create thin metal awnings to give the door and both windows a little more protection from the rain. It doesn't look like much but it helps and the metal is thick enough for high impact winds i.e. driving down the highway.</div>

After that I began working on one of the most important components of my MPD - the stages! I built them like you would build a floor - with studs only 12" apart because I wanted to make sure they were strong. They are incredibly strong and incredibly heavy. In the past I have needed help bringing the stages up and down and I would like it to be a one person operation. The first thing I did was take 1 stage apart, tear off the OSB and replace it with a thin, lightweight plywood. That almost made it light enough... but not quite. So I began building a box frame on the inside.</div>

Our final step last week was to move out. Our time is up at the Open Space's warehouse. So we packed up the tools, the remaining SIP panels (that are the unattached stage corners), and exited through the only ground level garage door. This was a 6 hour process because we had to see-saw Foxy out of the warehouse in order to turn her to face the truck. See-sawing was done in parts by hand, fork lift, and truck. But, phew! We made it out. Thank you Open Space! We are safely relocated to our third build location, yet another backyard. </div>

Now I am on to finishing the back end. This part is tricky because it is where stage legs, door locks, waterproofing materials and holding devices for the extra stage panels converge. I'll spare you the details until I have images to illustrate all this nonsense clearly. Over and out for now. -Hallie</div>

Hello EcoDance followers,<br />
Are you still out there!? I am! I've been in my new building location since January. After bleaching and protecting badly mildewed ply panels, we finally bolted the walls to the end of the trailer with piano hinges and layed out the removable extra panels to make a 12 foot by 24 foot stage. Voila!<br />

Then we took to removing panel sections to install wrap-around windows in the dwelling room. It looks so different and inviting to stand inside the front room.... the next step is to intall an aluminum frame. Progress!<br />

If you look back in March, you'll see my last post. Randy Kirk, volunteer welder, had ordered and cut
metal tubing which I mounted on top of Foxy's side walls in preparation for the next
step: welding the rooftop centerboard and cross members to the walls. I don't weld,
nor do I own the tools. Luckily, Randy had pledged his assistance and
promised to call when his workload subsided.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While Randy worked on fabricating projects and metal art over the Spring and Summer, I had my own distractions... </div>

<b>I NEEDED A JOB. </b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
... When I moved back to Seattle after ten years away, I had a plan: to offer Trager bodywork sessions for a living while I finished the dwelling and applied for dance professor jobs. When I got here last summer (September 2011), I found out that Washington state requires healthcare licensing before I could offer hands-on or manual therapy to paying clients. To get a license I had to pass the state board massage test. To be eligible to take the test, I had to be recommended by a massage school. So, it was back to ten more months of full time school for me... studying massage at night --Swedish, myofascial, MET, lymphatic faciliation, etc. and my favorite, anatomy & kinesiology (really!).... </div>

Then the stress got to me. I lost twenty pounds, went through mood swings and inconsolable feelings of hopelessness. My heart pounded all day, including at 3 o'clock in the morning. A doctor visit revealed that, no, it wasn't my thyroid. It was adrenal exhaustion. The bad news is I overloaded myself with stress, which kicked my sympathetic nervous system into full time alert, spiking my adrenal levels and plummeting them just as quickly. And wow, a glass of wine on an empty stomach sent me through an emotional tremor or two. I've always considered myself ...um... 'emotionally available', but never inconsolable and scared. Go figure, I also lost my bf in the midst of this. So, a lady cannot do everything. She MUST learn to manage projects appropriately (and drink less coffee). The good news: this happened to me during my thesis performance in grad school the year before, so now I have an explanation for the identical behaviors. It is good to know that freaking out has it's biological explanations! Even good stress can be too much.</div>

Enter Randy, six months later.
So, metal kept him busy all summer, and in September, when indian
summer was in full swing, we spent a couple weekends ten feet in the air
(okay, Randy was up in the rafters, while I held the water hose). Above is a picture of Randy welding the center 2x3" pipe to the end of the roof, of his. </div>

Then,
tawdawww, Randy demonstrates the easy-to-place column installation, for the transition from open stage to folded-up-trailer, when Foxy needs to have structual
integrity for the bumpy road. Why is a columness stage necessary for dance? Answer: So my dancers
and I don't bump our bodies on columns. You'd be surprised how annoying
columns can be when you are concentrating on the dance. If Im going to spend all this time, money, and energy on a (albeit MINI) dance space, my priority was a space with no columns in my way.</div>

OMG, Foxy (short for Foxglove), the
mobile performance dwelling with a roof! Well, 3/4 of a roof. We still
need to finish the exterior waterproofing. Nevertheless, she has most of a roof,
and far more structural integrity than a typical travel trailer. Randy, above, testing Foxy's
strength. I think her first showcase of choreography might be a zip line from her deck and into the Central Cascades' Scottish Lakes .... any volunteers??</div>

<b> I HAVE A JOB.</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am one month away from another graduation ceremony. I passed my state board exam. Soon the LMP license certificate will be in the mail! My Pilates studio is up and running, and I visit the city one day a week to spread my dance movement teachings to guess whooooo.... dancers!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Soon, the eco-mobile will warm up the front burner again. She is rather grimy and wet under her tarp tent. I am finding her a roomier cover/garage so that we can work on the roof for a few more weekends before she is ready to weather the great outdoors. I have leads on private and public spaces, with no final decisions yet. I am hopeful she'll be on the road (for the first time) to relocate indoors in a week or so. </div>

Meanwhile I am submitting EcoDance for a Seattle sustainable business start-up program, a ten week program for Sarah and I to flesh out the possibilities with investors. Application deadline, December 15. Ay yi yi, tranquil, mija, es un dia a dia.</div>

This is the first time that I will include the structure I built through EcoDance as an art component of my work. EcoDance is about building the structures, but at Artprize the Mobile Performance Dwelling will be viewed as an installation piece. This event is free and open to the public. For more information and a schedule of events, please visit: <a href="http://rawarttour.blogspot.com/">http://rawarttour.blogspot.com</a>.<br />

For the curious who do not have the best internet capability, I have included a lengthy bit about the work below. Thanks for reading and hope to see some of you there:)<br />

<br />
Title of work:<br />
EcoDance/Raw Art Tour<br />
<br />
Artist Statement:<br />
EcoDance/Raw Art Tour is a mostly reclaimed installation piece with performance components. The mobile stage, which transforms from an insular, compact design to an open, public venue, opens at designated times to offer the following: performances, discussions, rehearsals, installations, and workshops. The artist who built this structure engages with her own art/work and also invites people to use the space as a platform. Creations can take the form of movement studies, sculptures, paintings, photographs, installations, etc.<br />
<br />
History:<br />
EcoDance/Raw Art Tour is a two-fold project. Co-founded January 2011 by Sarah Haas and Hallie Aldrich, EcoDance encompasses the building process and design of the mobile installation piece. Inspired by the tiny house movement and motivated to create low-cost artist live/work spaces, the two joined forces to research, design, and build artist-specific, eco-friendly mobile performance dwellings (Eco-Mobiles). Addressing practical issues in performance, architecture, and ecology, each artist builds her own structure with the help of volunteers. Haas’s structure was built with approximately 10% volunteer labor and 90% owner energy, and 75% reclaimed materials.<br />
<br />
Raw Art Tour is the traveling collaborative project that Haas is currently engaged in with her Eco-Mobile. Haas travels from town to town, creates work and performs, while providing a platform for people of diverse skills, passions, and interests. Her art and work events bring folks of all kinds together to share experiences, dreams, and stories. Within her process is a desire to merge work and play, to navigate and record the body as a cultural landscape, and to become a self-sustained, eco-conscious, yet collaborative entity, while garnering a sense of freedom within a rapidly corporatized world. Utilizing her space as a gathering site for lectures, workshops, brainstorming sessions, rehearsals, and performances, she continues to build upon and investigate the multifarious possibilities inherent in an ever-expanding mobile lifestyle.<br />
<br />
EcoDance/Raw Art Tour is being hosted by the City of Grand Rapids through ADORATION.EcoDancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632996949418494427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996213597386063201.post-568574260081579082012-06-12T11:14:00.000-07:002012-06-12T11:15:51.802-07:00ClarificationIt seems there is some confusion about EcoDance, Raw Art Tour, and Incite Company, so I am going to clarify as best I can:<br />
<br />
EcoDance is about researching, designing, and building Mobile Performance Dwellings, or Eco-Mobiles as we like to call them. Hallie and I build together when we are able, and apart when necessary. When we come together to perform on the structures (which will hopefully happen early 2013!) we are performing as EcoDance because we are the co-founders of EcoDance using our structures in partnership.<br />
<br />
The performative nature of the stages we are building allows us to carry out our own individual artistic endeavors, under separate names. This is something we agreed on when we first began imagining this project. We realized that we had very different goals for the structures, traveling desires, and artistic inclinations.<br />
<br />
Raw Art Tour and Incite Company have nothing to do with EcoDance except that we use the structures we are building to carry out our artistic endeavors. For example, if I bought my structure from a company that made Mobile Performance Dwellings, I wouldn't need to include the name of that company when I wanted to market my artistic work. And, when we build an Eco-Mobile for someone else, we do not expect them to disclaim on any of their artwork that they are affiliated with EcoDance.<br />
<br />
I hope this helps:)<br />

Tearing out the floor and starting from scratch was not an option, but I remembered a co-worker from Texas mentioning the use of paper mache on wood and concrete floors. I did a bit of research, gathered a few things, and began. Below are some photos of the process. All in all, a very inexpensive and physically easy process.<br />

Im a poor blogger so far, but Im going to be better! Most of my progress has been documented on our website, but I thought that I'll post the smaller progress stories here, and some pics of the lifestyle I've been leading in the process. <br />
<br />
Last August I drove across the country with my truck, trailer, and materials. In September, Dave (my sweetie) and I built a tarp tent, and parked the trailer in it. We unloaded the materials, and by my birthday on January 6th, I put up all the walls. In January, it was clear that in order to build the stage walls and to stabilize the structure's sheer strength, I would need some steel reinforcement. Since then, a local steel artist and fabricator, Randy Kirk, came on board.<br />
<br />

Randy procured the steel and is sharing his expertise and skills by advising me and helping with the next steps. He is an accomplished fabricator, and is helping with the ideology, "the poor help the poor!" </div><br />

This is a 18'1" steel tube sitting on top of the SIP walls of the trailer. I have two tubes on top of the walls (one on each side), and the next step is to weld these tubes to vertical supports, to attach removable steel supports on the end of the trailer, and then .... drum roll, please.... add the hinged walls. Of those four steps, only one is complete. Patience is my best friend, as has been true for this entire project! Tomorrow I will secure the steel in relation to Foxy's trailer frame (vertically), and screw the steel into the outside walls. After this I will use clamps and straps to square the walls, and then Randy, Dave and I will be ready for the next step: welding the vertical and horizontal steel crossmembers to the steel wall supports.<br />

Meanwhile, I bought a parts RV from a local RV sales lot (in February). When Sarah and I visited an RV store in Illinois last July, the salesman said that new RVs are partially traded for parts RVs all the time. I found out that the same is true here in the Seattle area. This is a pic of me and the trailer waiting for the ferry back to Vashon. I won't mention how much it cost for the RV to ride the ferry. Although leaking badly in several places, the RV has everything I need.... gas range/stove, gas/AC frigde, water tank, battery charger, sink, ventilation fans, shower, outdoor shower/water hookup, doors, piano hinges, DC lights and other incidentals like water and gas and electric supplies! We tested all these elements, and all but the charger are in working order. (Perhaps this trailer base will become the next, the third EcoDance trailer...!) Because I have time on my hands while waiting for the structural elements, I decided to design my kitchen in a step by step process. So, I started transferring each appliance one at a time. <br />

This is the range/stove. It needs to move from the RV to "Foxy", my mobile performance dwelling (Foxy is short for Foxglove, my favorite native flower that grows here in the PNW). So, I started with...<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Signing off, Sarah~</div>EcoDancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632996949418494427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996213597386063201.post-7561373624266211892011-11-04T16:28:00.000-07:002011-12-10T10:47:35.098-08:00Trials & Tribulations~<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Hallie and I had some serious set-backs beginning and sustaining this project. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1. We worked with a well-intentioned designer who requested a leadership role; yet, was unable to follow-through with time commitments and a professional, detailed design. His interest in the project seemed to waver when it was necessary to move past theoretical discussions and into practical application. This created a huge time crunch for us.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">2. We had issues getting a company to build custom built trailers with our specifications. We were already behind schedule, and then the trailers took longer to arrive than we planned. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">3. Despite our marketing and fund-raising efforts, we had very little funding.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">4. We had a difficult time securing and maintaining a safe, dry space to build; we were moved off university property before our first structure was complete or road-ready. Because we had to move quickly the designer stepped in and helped us build one day; his one and only design for my structure--columns that create a structurally integral roof system self-supportive and independent of the stage walls--were measured incorrectly. Voicing my concern did no good. Time impediments and a high level of tension created a frantic, work environment. Because of quick, thoughtless judgement calls, there are gaps between the roof and the stage panels creating a serious weatherproofing issue; this means that rain leaks into my structure around all three stage panels. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div>So, how does this relate to my daily life...<br />
<br />
Last week around 11:30 pm I turned on the light inside my structure. It was raining outside that evening and the rain was not only leaking through the back stage wall, but was actually streaming down from the top like isolated little waterfalls. I was absolutely horrified. It's scary to think that everything I have financially is tapped into this structure. If you don't know me I'll tell you now that I've been on my own since I was 14. I put myself through high school, through undergrad and through grad school. There's no trust fund, no savings account, no supportive encouraging parents who lend a helping hand when I need it. I live check by check, like a lot of people in this world who are lucky enough to have work. So horrified doesn't even begin to sum up the way I felt at that moment. This structure has been made possible by three credit cards, and a handful of amazing people who volunteered their time and a lot of love.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">What this amounts to is that I had to take the back wall apart, let it dry out, bleach it for mold, put it all back together and caulk again. This, believe it or not, takes a lot of time. It also means that I need to do this to the other two stage walls as well. Here are some photos of the process:</div><br />

<br />
My first residency at Austin Peay was fantastic, and I'm disappointed to admit that future events will be curtailed until I work out some of these kinks. But things take time, and I am where I am.<br />
<br />
I'm grateful to be in Huntsville Texas. Even though it's a serious culture-shock, the people I'm working with are phenomenal. Dan Phillips warned me about humidity and mold in my structure, so I've decided to add a couple of roof/ceiling vents (similar to an RV). He showed me a huge stack of flashing in his back yard today and offered to let me use whatever I need. At the moment I'm volunteering for his organization, the Phoenix Commotion, and in a week I'll be hired on as a crew member. It's not much money (minimum wage), but I'm learning new skills while I continue working out issues inside my structure.<br />
<br />
Over the next month or two I'll be redoing the roof as well as the other two stage panels, installing a couple of venting systems in the roof, figuring out a pulley system so the walls are easier to move, insulating and finishing the interior, and weatherproofing the windows and door. I've also met some artistic, lively folks who are interested in pulling my structure out into the community and partaking in some performance events. I'm hoping this happens mid-December.<br />
<br />
My final thoughts for the day; If you decide to take on a project of this magnitude, make sure you do a few things:<br />
<br />
1. Secure a stable, safe, and permanent location to build your structure.<br />
2. Invest time and energy finding the right people for the project; don't compromise.<br />
3. Work with builders! I can't stress this enough. Philosophers, theorists, researchers, and designers are fantastic, interesting, creative people, but you really need the kind of knowledge a builder brings to the table. You also need people with the clarity, transparency and follow-through that <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">is necessary for such a large endeavor. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px;">4. If you set a goal of three months to completion, give yourself a year buffer. Just for peace of mind. </span><br />

I learned about Phillips soon after my interest in the tiny house movement; I was interested in building with reclaimed material and somehow I landed on his site. I've been a fan ever since. Phillips doesn't build tiny homes, but he uses roughly 80% reclaimed material for the homes he creates. He also builds low cost housing, a $150,000-350,000 structure is built for $20-50,000. This was incredibly inspiring, especially after researching the costly green homes being manufactured for the folks who come from "good" stock. The homes Phillips creates are also quite innovative. Below is a photo of a project he's finishing up now; this, I believe, is his first contract with a company--T.J. Burdett & Sons Recycling Center.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">I stayed at The Land of the Lakes in Kentucky from October 3-6; I didn’t plan on stopping, but I had some extra time before my next destination. It was beautiful out there. I didn’t ventured out much. Instead I bought a little propane tank and some groceries, spent time rearranging my space and finding lone spots to continue working on the structure.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Before leaving I managed to finish waterproofing and caulking the underbelly (OSB attached to the metal frame), and I added some 1”x2” to the roof since it was uneven and bowed. I also carted most of the mess (wood, metal sheeting, etc.) from inside the structure to the back of my truck, which was more difficult than it sounds b/c of my Honda in the back. I thought about getting rid of the bike before I left, but knew I couldn’t do it! I’m looking forward to taking her out for a spin soon. I hear there are some beautiful slopes and curves at my next destination. </span><!--EndFragment--> <br />

Before leaving Urbana I had some help insulating the roof and putting a thin layer of galvanized steel around the frame. The roof insulation isn't complete, but it's good for now, and the steel I finished up during my residency at Austin Peay State University last week. There is still a lot to do, but I'm getting there!<br />
<br />
Here are some photos for those of you who are curious!<br />

I am well rested and ready to meet my next destination, Deadwood, South Dakota. But first, a recap...<br />
<br />
On Saturday morning, I rolled into Mulberry Grove, IL. I arrived to see the trailer with completed subfloor (only those of us who worked on Sarah's floor can truly understand how relieving this is!!) packed with all my building SIPs. Ken of Eagle Panels and his employee helped me get rolling. It seemed the trailer brakes didn't work, but everything else was ready. I drove through Kansas, stopped at a truck stop service center to inquire about the brakes... with one flip of a dial, all brakes were in excellent working order. But I noticed as the mechanic fiddled with brakes that the boxes on the trailer had migrated forward about 12 inches. The OSB floor was slippery! I needed a forklift. That night I stayed in Kansas City. On Sunday afternoon I stopped at Home Depot. Mike and Nathan took an hour out of their day to put the boxes back on center with a forklift and make other fixes. Problem solved. That afternoon I drove North on I29 through the most beautiful state in the midwest, Nebraska. Imagine Illinois cornfields, plus trees, hills and rivers! It took all night, thanks to multiple detours for flood repairs, but I made it to Sioux City, IA by 4am Monday morning. After a nap that lasted til mid-morning, I drove onward, into South Dakota and finally to my current location, my first wild destination, Badlands National Park!<br />
<br />
Last night, Monday at 5pm, I wandered the grounds of my hotel. (I checked into the Badlands Inn because it was raining, and I'm lazy!) I took photos like a true tourist, then hoofed it to the lodge and back, making the most of the lasting light. The night sky cleared, and the visible milky way shot many a star above me. Farther west, a lightning storm flickered, so I perched myself on the fence to watch the show. Apparently, it was a vantage for the locals, because a giant bird, either a hawk or a owl (it was too dark to determine which) flew in and perched next to me on a park sign about ten feet away. He purred, literally! And the wind howled, the crickets played, and I heard the sound of myself unravel for the first time in many months.<br />
<br />
This is what EcoDance, for me, is about. Unraveling. Hearing deeper sounds, sounds beneath the mental twitters and chirps of the urban life. Urban life is a requirement as a dancer-- it is the only place where enough dancers congregate to make a dance community. But urban life doesn't provide one necessity, and this I realized as I walked past a lonely little wild sunflower last night. As a dancer, I need the wild because it doesn't need me, or my art. I need it to survive in it, live briefly in accordance to laws above my understanding, the most complex and perfect aesthetics I have ever observed. THAT is what feeds my work. To live in a place that is greater than any artwork, if only briefly, is what feeds my art.<br />
<br />
This morning my hotel-mates packed up busily at dawn, preparing to DO something remarkable, to observe this fabulous place. But, their emphasis is on the doing-- driving to the perfect view at the perfect time of day with the perfect picnic packed, parked in perfect lot slot. By 9am, the only people left to keep me company were two young asian girls. They paraded back and forth past my balcony window, cupping their hands to peek into my uncurtained window (the mountain view from this bed is fabulous), chatting to each other and waving hello. Together we watched the cliff shadows shifting underneath the rising sun, without doing anything, really.<br />
<br />
Okay, I'm packing up, next destination, Deadwood. I won't be online for a couple days... more later! Thanks for reading. -HallieEcoDancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632996949418494427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996213597386063201.post-89212441690158788222011-08-26T07:11:00.000-07:002011-08-26T07:11:18.506-07:00Hallie begins the trek toward buildingHello EcoDs,<br />
I haven't used this blog yet, I thought today is a good day to start. I pick up my SIPs today. What is a SIP? It is a Structurally Integrated Panel (acronym SIP). Basically, it is insulation sandwiched between the house exterior material and the house interior material. In my case, the panels are made of, from outside to inside: aluminum + ply + rigid foam insulation + pretty ply. They come in many sizes. In my case, they are mostly 4 x 8 foot panels, which is the size of a standard sheet of plywood. Ken Disch, at Eagle Panel Systems has helped in coordination with myself and Mark Taylor to provide me with enough SIP panels to put the entire dwelling together quickly and in a way that allows a cantilvered beamless stage design. He is saving me tons of time by connecting the SIP subfloor to the flatebed trailer. From the experience of drilling into Sarah's trailer, I can tell you it is a difficult job that I am grateful to the experts for completing!<br />
<br />
So, later this afternoon I go to Mulberry Grove, IL, attach my new (to me) diesel truck to my new (to the world!) flatbed trailer w/ attached SIP subfloor. I say goodbye to the midwest, and begin my journey west!<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for pictures and more posts.... meanwhile, check out our website. Sarah and I updated it and made a few changes for clarity's sake. I hope you like it! --HallieEcoDancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632996949418494427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996213597386063201.post-73006956444317576742011-08-07T12:43:00.000-07:002011-08-07T12:43:45.033-07:00We're building!We finally have our trailer and have been building this past week, which involved hours of drilling into very thick metal. We have the subfloor finished and are now working on the storage space. This will take a bit of time and careful planning to make sure everything is locked in tight and structurally sound.<br />
<br />
A HUGE thank you goes out to Dave Singer and Jon Ustin for coming out and helping us build this past week!<br />
<br />
We must find a new location to build by August 12th, and we would like to have a structurally sound skeleton finished by then so it's safe to re-locate. This means we could use LOTS of help this week. If you're in the area and you can help us build, please give us a call and let us know. 312.301.0714. The more hands we have the quicker we can build.EcoDancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00632996949418494427noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2996213597386063201.post-36356165183571797762011-04-25T16:29:00.000-07:002011-04-25T16:29:42.621-07:00Kickstarter<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #626262; font-family: Tahoma, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;"><strong></strong></span><br />
