Everybody except the canoeists now scratch their heads. No, i haven’t got to the point of running out of normal words but i have built a Wanigan for Inanda. What’s a Wanigan then i can hear y’all saying ?……well kiddies allow this old canoeist to explain.

Basically it’s a box although properly it’s a storage box that is designed and built to sit inside an open canoe and usually gets used to carry the canoeist’s kitchen and some of their ‘ready’ food. The term comes directly from one of the Canadian native languages btw. Some canoe Wanigan’s are actually built with curved bottoms to fit the curve of the hull and some of them are set up with tump-straps so that they can be carried from the forehead. My version is a slightly smarter version of the stacking food crates that i have used for many years at home, and before that, and then more recently for my food stowage aboard WABI”’. Aboard WABI”’ i found that once i had taken the sea-toilet out that 2 plastic stacking crates ( 42 litre) would make an excellent dry larder in one and the other could be modified as a coolbox.

Aboard Inanda i found that a 42 litre stacking crate sat exactly between the 2 bunks and at almost the perfect height to serve as my coffee table and food preparation area next to my sitting position. That size of crate would just go through the companionway hatch on WABI”’ and it’s the same with Inanda. I was happy with the plastic crates on WABI”’ as their utilitarian nature seemed to match the boat but Inanda is very ‘woody’ and i think deserves something a bit nicer. I need a working surface to prepare food on aboard Inanda and i often do that when i am sat on one of the bunks, also when we are on board we often sit longways in the bunks ‘feet-up’ and a raised box to put things on seemed like a good idea. Obviously it restricts movement forward but to be honest we don’t need to get into the forepeak very much and when we do i can just slide the box aft.

Because i can’t just drive over to the boat in 10 minutes (more like 10 hours) i want to get on with some projects like this at home. I did bring the old galley structure home and knock that apart because i might be able to use some pieces of the mahogany again to finish the new version.

Anyway, lets do some quick and dirty boatbuilding. The first stage of this one was to find whatever pieces of scrap plywood might be big enough to make the basic box with. Having recently built a bathroom with mainly 12mm plywood for the walls there was enough of that laying around to make the sides and a piece of 18mm to make the base out of. Building the box is just straightforward ‘glue and screw’ construction with some West epoxy, microfibres and filler. Because i would be bonding end grain ply to face grain i pre-wet the end grain and temporarily put screws through on each edge. I didn’t leave the screws in, no need really, but filled the holes when i did the second stage construction which is to epoxy fillet each inside join with a glue and filler epoxy fillet.

As i write i have just spent a couple of hours smoothing the fillets and rounding off all the external corners . While i am having a coffee break i have the heater on completely warming and drying the inside before i epoxy coat the whole of the inside. The final dimensions are slightly larger than the crate as i have gone longer and taller…my plan, half way through the project is to build half of the inside as an ice-box with insulation and a thin ply/epoxy liner. Something i can’t quite work out is what to finish the inside with, i do remember a food safe epoxy coating but haven’t seen that for years. Bare wood might be the healthiest but only until it gets food-grunge embedded in it !

Day 2…..and i actually had to go out and buy some materials.

Having built the box out of plywood that i just have as scrap in the workshop and the remnants of some epoxy resin i had to go out and get some insulation board and 4mm ply to make the insulation and the inner box. The 25mm celotex foam board isn’t really thick enough but i don’t really have the space to use a 50mm layer all round. When i did this job last time on the Frances 26 i had to build an icebox in situ into an awkward shape and i step-laminated 2 layers of similar board except where i could use a single 50mm layer. What i did then on that job was to make a GRP/foam box as the liner using some constructional foam board. I haven’t got any of that left and i know that the local GRP/epoxy supplier doesn’t stock it any more.

Anyway, day 2, the inside of the box is coated after smoothing-off the fillets and i have close-fitted the insulation board and the box divider. I might put an extra piece of 25mm board in the bottom to reduce the heat leak through the base. If i can find some epoxy compatible foam board in town i might build the inner box out of foam/epoxy and glass cloth which would then be extra insulation and completely waterproof. PS…i didn’t so it’s thin plywood and lots of poxy.

Bake it. (day 3)

Mid afternoon in the epoxy oven….also known as the greenhouse. The icebox liner is filleted in and it’s all just baking off nicely. Next job is to coat the liner and set the icebox lid in. If all goes well i might even get some 2-pack primer on today.

Making the top. I had hoped to make a decent lid out of scrap wood i had laying around….like the remnants of the old bathroom floor. Unfortunately i really need the top to be flat and plane so that i can use it as a chart table and general boat table-top. My small craft chart folio’s are about the same size as the box itself and it will be sheer luxury to have a chart table aboard Inanda. Instead of scrap i actually had to drive over to the DIY store and buy a couple of boards and then edge-glue them together on my improvised glueing bench…..epoxy went off nicely in the sun today. Meanwhile the box is in the workshop getting some paint on.

Improvised edge-glueing rig.

Finishing.

One side is the dry-bin which will act as the general larder, the other side is the ice-box. As nearly always with my own projects i can see the mistakes rather than the finished product which looks functional enough. The top will act as our food preparation area and chart table. I can see a way (several ways) of making it a lot better but i very rarely get things like this exactly right first time because i don’t spend anything like enough time doing this kind of thing. It’s a good ‘tools and skills’ warm-up for the harder jobs to come though.

Now the workshop needs a good clean-out of the waste material and dozens of crusty glue cups and discarded gloves….in fact it’s such a nice day that i’m going to empty one side of the workshop right out , clean it and re-organise it.

Finally….aboard Inanda, iced, stocked and charts in play. Version 2 could be a little bit wider and slightly taller as the lid runners interfere with the bunk edges. Works well though ! On the trip i spent several hours at my improvised chart table doing the navigation and tides for the Thames and beyond. When i cook i find i want to sit to port which is next to the cooker and do the food prep on a big cutting board on top of the box and temporarily stow the charts….i can see a use for one of those ‘posh’ cockpit chart bags to keep my chart folio’s in .

Wanigan. Everybody except the canoeists now scratch their heads. No, i haven't got to the point of running out of normal words but i have built a Wanigan for Inanda.

Today’s post we dedicate to WANIGAN Organics from Brampton, Ontario. It was late summer of 2016 that we met Jim Wetmore (the co-founder of Wanigan) whom we met at McVean Farm and who offered to buy any amount of leafy greens from us.

That late summer we began to sell our veggies to Wanigan Organics which is the only local organic store in Brampton that for over 20 years has been offering home delivery service of organic fruits and vegetables to households in GTA.

This very moment also marks the beginning of a wonderful journey that opened for us a new door to experiencing all at once: growing, selling, and preparing a variety of organic food dishes including smoothies and juices; all of this working with genuine people who understand the value of clean healthy organic food that comes with no pesticides, herbicides or chemicals.

It is worth to mention that as of now Wanigan has been a trusted source for fresh – locally harvested and certified – organic fruits and vegetables for almost 20 years and a pioneer in the organic food home delivery industry.

Wanigan Organics started when Jim Wetmore and Mike Schreiner founded the company in early 2000 when Wanigan Whole Foods and Toronto Organics merged. Their vision was to connect local and accomplished organic farmers with households in the GTA. They wanted to be pioneers in the organics home delivery business.

Their idea was to add Toronto Organic’s skill with home delivery of organic produce boxes to Wanigan’s skill with packing large custom orders of organic groceries. The result was a company that offered its customer new flexibility and a much larger on-line ordering format.

Peter and Shanon Fuchs joined Wanigan in 2003. The new team wanted to create a new type of store; both on-line and bricks and mortar. They wanted to create a store that is focused upon simplicity, authentic food experiences and family values; a store that is centered around fresh organic fruits and vegetables. In 2009, the first Wanigan Fresh Market Store opened in Brampton, Ontario.

Today, Wanigan offers a full and unique whole foods experience that provides products, services and advice to cater to the wants and needs of many valued customers in Brampton and Great Toronto Area.

Since the beginning, Wanigan’s mission has been to deliver authentic and uncomplicated value to its customers. By always striving to offer this value, Wanigan has notched many milestones in the organic industry.

In 2003 Wanigan Organics innovated and introduced an industry leading quality assurance program which includes vigorous 5 star produce check procedure.

Humbly and with the highest gratitude, we wanted to say thank you Wanigan!!! Thank you to all great people at Wanigan we had the opportunity work with and many fantastic customers we have met. Thank you Jim, Peter and Emily for your wisdom and the opportunity to be part of Wanigan.

Thank you for this incredible journey; we’ve learned a lot and on a personal level we’ve grown beyond recognition.

Today, after 20 years of service Wanigan Organics have closed its doors…

Let’s Celebrate – WANIGAN Organics Today's post we dedicate to WANIGAN Organics from Brampton, Ontario. It was late summer of 2016 that we met Jim Wetmore (the co-founder of Wanigan) whom we met at McVean Farm and who offered to buy any amount of leafy greens from us.

Micro Houses Transfer to Mainstream's Fringe

The little residence movement has gotten steam since the late 1960s as well as early 1970s when counter-culture types without money made due with exactly what they might and also built micro houses on wheels from whatever they might locate. In fact, it's almost mainstream. For example, students at Environment-friendly Hill College in Poultney, Vt. have developed a home design not much larger than an extensive cab-over camper installed to the old Ford F-250 pickup. Their "tiny residence" actions 8 feet wide and also 12 feet long and cost a puny $1,927, institution authorities stated.

" The $20 each square foot expense is very low compared with the $80-$ 200 per square foot expense of new building and construction," stated elderly Todd Sirak of Poultney, in a statement. Certainly. Although still out every block, this small residence trend is getting enhanced rate of interest as energy efficiency as well as living with less gain mainstream focus. Specify mini houses have even become stylish in Japan where also postage-stamp tracts cost a premium. In Japan, it's described as kyosho jutaku, or ultra-small residences. In a current item, NPR reporter Lucy Craft claimed the homes "preserve area by disposing traditional components like entranceways, corridors, inner walls and also storage rooms." She claimed furnishings could be folded into the wall surface, while a shower room might be separated by a basic curtain. Windows, she stated, are often small as well as "spread" across a wall surface. The technique has gone on for years in this nation, also. Consider all the individuals that live in travel trailers or rvs, traveling from one national park to another as well as following the periods-- or wind. Beyond the RV crowd, there are numerous various other instances, websites, teams and also organizations, upholding the wonders of a cottage. In Sebastopol, Calif., Jay Shafer of Tumbleweed Tiny Home Co. has received a fair bit of direct exposure for his layouts. He uses strategies, sets and also completed residences, some on wheels some fixed. His homes range from 65 to 356 square feet. "Every square inch counts," he stated. The principle intrigues me due to the fact that in 1968 my mom sent me to live with my grandmother in Port Lions, Alaska. I was in 3rd grade and also either or 3 white youngsters in the village of 210 individuals. In the beginning, I was a pariah. I had red hair as well as was the grand son of Lowell Wakefield who utilized or got king crab from a lot of the community. My grandparents stayed in a fairly small yet comfortable home. I had my uncles' old bedroom. After the Russian/Alaska Indigenous citizens accepted me, it was terrific but didn't last. That summertime mother decided she should attend the University of Alaska Fairbanks' anthropology program as well as moved us to a deserted path off Happy Road in the center of no place. We resided in a tent until it got as well cold. After that we updated to a garage for the winter months. It wasn't better. This experience taught me that individuals might live with practically absolutely nothing. It likewise educated me that tents do not drive away bears and that bears want to rummage with your food. Not a great way to get up. We updated the next winter to a 18- by 36-foot log cabin built by Denny Mehner as well as Bobo. It was fantastic. No squandered space. They developed me a barn down from your home with my space in the loft. I liked it however smelled like goat since that's exactly what we continued the initial flooring. Small houses don't allow you have much furniture. We had one standard packed chair in the cabin alongside the timber cooktop. I spent numerous hours checking out Heinlein and Tolkien in that chair. The only various other things to remain on were benches and fat 2-foot go to end. Micro houses additionally make use of much less power, they cost less to warmth as well as you do not wind up acquiring a lot junk since you have nowhere to place it. I'm impressed by all the people on A&E's "Hoarders." What's the factor? I understand, I recognize. They have concerns, yet that countless consumerism is a representation of our culture. We had extra inspiration for frugality since mother never held a job as well as we really did not have a cars and truck. Everything we had, we needed to carry hitchhiking. We also hauled water that way as our cabin had no well or indoor pipes of any type. Many of the others in our band of Fairbanks long-hairs also had little residences. Denny's brother developed a multi-level tree residence. John Hartle built a little geodesic dome on our 10 acres. I think he paid us rent at some point. Michael lived simply below him in a three-story plywood-sided box. It was extremely unfinished. He eventually acquired the reduced 5 acres. Michael and also John took care of me after I captured myself on fire in blazing Human Lantern style at 14. I was figured out to get a heap of brush to shed and also decided to put gas on it from the 5-gallon could I made use of to supply my chainsaw. A trigger from a previous attempt transformed the gas right into a ball of fire. Mama was gone that week in Juneau. Small houses become part of Alaska and U.S. background. Before contemporary cookie-cutter mini estates became preferred, people resided in a couple rooms. They didn't invest hours at a time in the shower room. My friend Eric Storms stayed in Anchorage for several years in an 8-foot wide trailer with a wanigan. Everything fit. No waste. He's kept that philosophy and taken plenty of extended road trips on his Harley and camps quite conveniently, bring all he requires. Possibly the existing economic environment-- all the repossessions, layoffs and also lowered circulating wealth-- will certainly make numerous reconsider exactly how they spend their precious resources. Bigger houses have bigger costs and also debt settlements. Cut that and also more of your cash money avoids of the financial institutions' pockets. As well as combined with energy efficiency, super-insulation as well as various other environment-friendly improvements, tiny residences could come to be entirely sustainable, gobbling zero fossil fuels. The 19 Eco-friendly Mountain College students and also assistant ecological research studies teacher Lucas Brown strategy to recoup their investment by selling their tiny house this spring-- however not prior to furnishing it with a solar-powered electric system. Interesting. Perhaps we'll see even more of these pop up on under-sized urban whole lots and on the outskirts of town.
