  |   1. The Original. Photo taken in 1969. |   |   2. Prospective Foundation, 2001 |   |   | 
 
  | 
 | A best guess layout as it was from
  '68 to '01.   (I'm in MA and it's in CA as I draw these plans).   Estimated 7' X 21'.Awning windows, sliding picture window added
  in '68, door, partition with hinged drop table added in '68, closets, icebox,
  bed, rear storage trunk.   (Forgot the tongue.) | 
 | A 3' high block foundation/storage
  area to support the trailer & an 8' addition - with vents, bolted door
  & subfloor joists.   Posts, bracketed below-grade to
  concrete footings 3' deep, to carry a deck and later support a roof. |   | 
 
  |   3. Plumbing |   |   4. Floor Joists & a Remodeled
  Trailer |   |   | 
 
  | 
 | The 500 gal (?) tank gets filled for
  about $50. PVC pipe drops below grade to the addition & overhead to the black
  tank, to absorb the sun's heat & home as 'hot' water, then to 2 sinks,
  toilet, shower(see below). A PVC drain runs over a fiber-board
  subfloor and out to the septic. | 
 | A sill bolts to the foundation.
  Floor joists attach to that. A trailer partition is moved for a
  larger kitchen.   Below grade 2x4s wrap additional
  deck posts. Wire mesh frames (not
  visible; see side view below) above them keep critters out. Deck joists sit
  atop them. |   | 
 
  |   5. A Floor & a Deck |   |   6. Walls, Screens & a Side View |   |   | 
 
  | 
 | The plywood floor includes 2 trap
  doors, shower stall & sill plate.   The decking will probably be red
  cedar and has its own sill plate.   A slider will open to the deck. | 
 | Windows, doors, studs & plywood
  sheathing wrap the addition. Dry-wall partitions & doors create the
  office, hall, bath & extended bedroom.   8 screen panels & a door wrap 3
  sides of the deck, the bottom half of each protected by a steel grate to keep
  the cat in & coyotes out. |   | 
 
  |   7. Furniture & Top Plate |   |   8. A Ceiling & The Trailer Roof |   |   | 
 
  | 
 | The queen bed gives some
  perspective.   A shelving unit opens to the hall,
  the bath & the bedroom. A desk, bookcase, a bureau, sofa,
  chairs, rugs, lamps & heaters will be added.   A fridge, counter & cabinets
  create a kitchen. | 
 | (Initially, power will come through
  rechargeable batteries from a 5000W generator (not visible) 100' from the house, baffled.   Propane will also provide light
  & heat.   Eventually, solar panels will power
  a battery bank.) |   | 
 
  |   9. Rafters, Gutters &
  Water Collection |   |   10. Sheathing |   |   | 
 
  | 
 | Rain flows from the gutter to a
  filtered sediment barrel & then a water barrel, tapped for good
  drinking/cooking.   This structure will be built as
  modules, including the roof, so that one day it can be unbolted & moved
  to an arroyo up in the hill, after a stone ramp/bridge is completed. | 
 | ¾” plywood or fiber-board, depending
  on financial situation. |   |
