First workaway

We finally find some time to write an article!
We've been on the road for two weeks now, with our house on the back.
We arrived in Italy, after a day's driving in the rain, and it's not about to stop!
This morning we cleaned the stables at our new host.

But let's go back to our last week activities.
We were hosted by friends of ours in Switzerland, next to Fribourg.
Over there, we were able to finish tidying Travis, which is now a comfy mini home, and not even too cold at night cheeky
Subsequently, it turned out that our friends needed a new bed, and that they already had the necessary materials.
Without thinking more, we decided to get down to this task, helped by our friend RG.
Koala began by scribbling a model on paper, according to the wishes of our friends, then he modeled the bed on computer.

On the first day, we went to buy the few planks we were missing and then we started building the structure.
We quickly realized that we had to put more feet than expected because of the flexibility of the planks, fortunately we had planned enough wood.
We then set the bedsprings so that our friends could sleep in their new bed.
On the second day, we cut large planks to dress the bed and create a chest as the headboard. This part took us a long time in order to adjust everything.
On the last day, we added alcoves in the headboard, fixed hinges for the chest lid, and adjusted the contour of the bed to get off without grinding the buttocks cheeky
Given the height of the bed, Koala created a small step by assembling two wooden crates.
And of course, we signed our work before leaving our friends and getting back on the road.
