Cece It was so awesome meeting you!!!! OMG! I am so excited this is quite a journey! So glad to be a part of it! Cannot wait to see your journals on the road!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barbara – you are great! Come take photos of our completed Airstream remodel!!! Your work is awesome!
It was great to meet you both. I am very much looking forward to following your journey!
Hey Dale – Great to meet you too. Thanks for helping out with the move. Please keep in touch.
Wow!!! Your Airstream looks GREAT! Let’s hear it for the “Ecostream”. Looking forward to following you down the road via your blog.
Hi Donna – Thanks so much. This was the first step – to finish the remodel in a green, healthy way so we can live in it full-time. Next – to travel and educate about sustainable living practices and simple, small footprint living… take care.
wow, amazing pictures, and an even more amazing look/feel, and oh so green. I did a quick search on the composting toilet, as we are moving to a new spot down below watsonville and it doesn’t have sewer at the moment. It’s on a friend’s land, so we are all putting our heads together to find a solution for that. Timely then seeing that you installed this toilet. I’m curious to know how you’ll like it, if it’s a great solution for full time use etc… so keep me posted!
Hey Kim – composting toilet update. it’s been several months of using the toilet now. We actually found that using peat moss has been the easiest. With the coconut coir “brick” you have to break it down and reconstitute it a bit with water. For us, it was just too messy, time consuming and difficult to find the right amount of water to add.
Hi Kim -
Thanks for the awesome comments. We are just starting to use the composting toilet so not much to report yet except that it doesn’t smell. The 1 amp fan runs 24/7. Super easy to set up. We use coconut coir instead of peat moss (recommendation of the Nature’s Head guy we bought it from). So far so good. I’ll report in a few months with the details
I really like what you have created. Wonderful makeover!!!! Good luck and enjoy your travel adventures.
Pat – Thanks so much for your words! Maybe we will see you at an open house down the road.
Very cool greening of an Airstream.
How much more or less does it weigh than when original?
Hey Daisy -
We tried to watch our weight super closely and document what we took out and what we put in. We did add some weight with the American Clay and new batteries but we also took out a good number of things too (items went to Goodwill or other RVers). All in all we maxed out our weight and shaved 88 pounds off once we went to the scales. Now we are good to go
hey ladies..been checkin’ in on you 2..looking real good & you are living it! keeping busy here, travel careful out there, carry fleece. we’ll catch up soon. lsa
Great to hear from you LA. We will be in Santa Cruz late October. Let’s spend some time and catch up!
You guys ROCK!
Thanks Mary and Drew! Hope your are loving life:)
I haven’t been by your site in a while and thought that I would check in.
Wow! That machine is looking great! I really enjoyed that video tour. Some beautiful work and a lot of thought went into your remodel. I’d love to see it someday. Enjoy your journey.
Thanks so much Dale! We are in Tucson now and heading to an open house in Austin on 12/10/11. Then back to the Bay Area for a few more open houses. Would love for you to see it too.
Thanks for all the great photos! Nice remodel and mission!
