<font face="Arial">What Richard Roberts is doing is completely
different.<br>
<br>
RIchard is not on a tuning trip to anywhere. He LIVES without a
home, on the streets of London. During the day he earns a living
as a piano tuner, with, like any of us, his regular clients. At
night, he finds a place to sleep, in any of a large variety of
locations outside. He runs his website and Blog from his
smartphone. it is an interesting and determined lifestyle choice
based partly on a rebellion against property prices in London. He
is, in fact, a homeless person.<br>
<br>
On a page of his website you can see a photo of the compact basic
kit of tolls and parts that he carries with him.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/stuff/">http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/stuff/</a><br>
<br>
His Blog is at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/blog/">http://www.piano-tuning.co.uk/blog/</a> It is well
written and copiously illustrated with photos.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>

Frank McKowen from Lansing, MI did exactly that on a trip in
Alaska. Pulling an Airstream trailer, he would go from town
to town, tuning as he went. The great thing about it was that
the folks he would work for would alert the people in the next
town that he was coming so work was waiting when he arrived.
He paid for the trip doing this!</font></div>
