I've been lazy about updating. The Vardo was "done" in May, and taken out for use, and has had more finishing touches applied; photos pending. I suspect that in 5 years, I'll still be applying finishing touches.
Walls up, the small size means sheets of plywood fit perfectly. Trim will go along the seam between the sheets on the walls. The roof is two layers of very thin plywood bent over the frame, with decorative pieces going over the seam. On top is two layers of tar paper; so far it's doing well.
since this photo, I've made the cabinet doors under the bed prettier with decorative pieces from Joans, added shelves above the bed. In the closet is a box for lantern batteries, wires run to usb ports at the far end of the bed to power phones. I've debated solar panels to charge a car battery for lights and computers; I have read that solar panels are a bit delicate, not to mention concerns about the waterproofing of the roof; I haven't done anything yet.
I bought a 3d printer to print out these pieces. They're painted yellow, and go inside the corners of the yellow frams on the outside.
