<div id="posttext" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://andrewhinman.com/portfolio/02-locomotive-ranch-trailer.php?i=5" target="blank">Andrew Hinman Architecture</a></b></span>  <br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span><b>hen a South Texas ranch owner relocated one of his cherished possessions, a vintage streamlined aluminum house (not travel) trailer, to the family’s favorite fishing/swimming hole overlooking the Nueces River he needed to protect the house from flash-flooding from the river. </b><br /><br />The solution is a steel-framed, metal-roofed cradle that lifts the trailer above the flood plain. The cradle is anchored by a concrete blockhouse containing utilities, storage and bathroom topped by a screened sleeping loft. Decks and hot tub add additional comfort. Dual tanks provide for rainwater harvesting. The trailer interior is refurbished with bamboo panels.<br /><br />Photographs: Paul Bardigjy</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwu_rl3Eg2uQ5bdGAbwi5XVyNHxKs0Xp774jL6N1Nwhbi69VM619N0hMF0PMOFweV6ZyUE0LhAKIEQK_R4KfDGrkN7XtE2dNctjU4tpSXtVgr5BuZrg8aOCj00lfApEI9_sGRHsekBBwk/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwu_rl3Eg2uQ5bdGAbwi5XVyNHxKs0Xp774jL6N1Nwhbi69VM619N0hMF0PMOFweV6ZyUE0LhAKIEQK_R4KfDGrkN7XtE2dNctjU4tpSXtVgr5BuZrg8aOCj00lfApEI9_sGRHsekBBwk/s1600/1.jpg" width="853" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
