why live in a tent when we can have a roof? why bucket water to and fro when we can have running water? we've asked ourselves these questions, and more, and so decided that the first step for us is to build a temporary and comfy shelter... so here we go! Fetoko island is now equipped with a 5000 litre water tank w ample rain water catchment guttering, sink w running rain water, solar panels, battery bank with 12V and inverted 110V AC power, bbq, stove, oven, dry storage, large capacity 12V freezer, laundry system w antiquated wringer, chill spot with glass table and chairs, rubbish and composting bins, nearby shower (soon to have a hot water callifont added!), and the beginnings of a Tongan-style fale made mostly with materials we've cut from the bush ourselves. the sides of the kitchen area fold down in case of big rains accompanied by wind. Lisa will be getting a lot more exercise while cooking after being in Waking Dream's little galley for so many years! it's a fantastic beginning and we're comfy!
