Some more of the repair of the roof of our workshop was done today by Hans de Haas, seen here preparing to apply thatch around one of the roof's corners. To get at that spot was not so easy however and asked for a lot of preparation

Reason for difficult access was one of Demotech's old dreams being in the way, namely the DAF-truck. This truck was once bought with the intention to transport the team that would give instruction in Ghanean villages. See for this very promising project The Mobile Training Unit. Sadly we could not materialize it up to now.
We build a platform attached to a ladder standing between the truck and the side of the barn. The picture shows Hans working from that position.

It is a new dream to replace the DAF-truck, as a costly and difficult to manage travelling tool by a different type and ultra light travelling tool, the Traveling Bed.
With Paula I made the first successful test with a loaded frame construction. I want to be able to repair or replace this frame construction at any place I could travel to. The interconnections as used in the first test was to complex for that. The aluminum tube-like fittings are now replaced by tin, cut from a bean can, nailed to tiny bits of wood, resulting in similar fittings.
These frames fit into the box of the Travel Bed as shown in the third picture.
