Work Continues & A New Mattress


Progress has been made on the skoolie, especially the past week.  Joseph has been running pipes for plumbing, and wiring the pumps.  He bought our mattress, crafted from organic wool and cotton.  I've been sleeping on clean mattresses since the 80's.  We spend so much of our lives with them, it makes sense not to expose ourselves to toxins, while we sleep.  PSA: if you're not aware, flame retardants and formaldehyde are common in conventional mattresses, which outgas toxins.  Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen.  The first mattress I bought, I had to provide a prescription saying I required a formaldehyde-free mattress for my health.  Thankfully, I was working in a Cardiology group, and one of the Dr's provided it.  It seems that's no longer a requirement.  Here's a link, if you'd like more info on the health risks of conventional mattresses.  


Joseph has begun working on the generator.  Once it's running and placed, he'll fabricate a door for that space.  We've been discussing how once we're up and running, we could be of assistance in natural disasters and such.  Being we can be self-sufficient for a time, we could just park and have what we need, to easily be of service.  Something to ponder.   Onward.
