The World's Largest Blue Bologna Sandwich – Southern Pines, NC

After living in my tipi for almost thirteen months on the road, I decided my next home would have more substantial walls.

Ok, so there were some privacy issues with my last living arrangements. Like cows.

I decided that if I was going for stock-proof walls this time, I might as well go for warmth too. That meant adding insulation to my dream.

Here’s how I did it.

The side walls on the wagon I designed are four feet tall and eight feet long.

To build the walls, I made the equivalent of a thirty-two square foot, bologna sandwich. To extend the analogy, for the top and bottom pieces of bread I used quarter-inch sheets of plywood. The Oscar Meyer was a sheet of three-quarter inch foam insulation.

Now that the sides are complete, I’m sitting down with a cup of tea. And then I’ll paint and bolt those sides to the wagon frame.

Finally, no more peeping cows.
