For days six and seven of the build, we are putting the finishing touches on the wood construction, going into town to get shipments of wishlist items, and preparing to install the solar power systems and related electronics. But, mostly, we are enjoying each others’ company, running errands, and taking care of personal business during this short down time.

Today we opened the first set of packages from the Amazon Wishlist. Thank you everyone who is giving to the minivan build so generously.
When not working on the minivan, we’ve enjoyed meals and campfires together (Mario, Missy, Phyllis).
HOWA’s two best Executive Assistants, Phyllis and KC, with Kona getting a belly rub.

You all are doing outstanding work to better the lives of your fellow man! If ever there is a van build or caravan in/around the state of New York, I’ll be there!

Comments here and on the Vandweller Forum indicate HOWA is going to be an amazing influence on the economy for a long time to come. People are being inspired to take part and provide volunteer assistance, funds, encouragement and approval. I predict this will be a movement that sweeps across the country and grows and grows. It’s going to be exciting to watch the spirit of independence and self-reliance, combined with compassion and pride, that have always been the backbone of this country, take hold. Congratulations, Bob, Suanne, staff and volunteers. It’s a wonderful thing you’ve done.
