Constantly on the move, acrobats Jeni Barnard and Barney White are always roaming in their rolling house while putting on a live performance called 'The Wheel House.' With all the basic necessities built into the sides of the wheel, the team rolls about while putting on performances. With acrobatic flair, the team maneuvers in the wheel like they've been doing it their entire lives.
Within the wheel house, everything looks like a normal abode complete with doors, windows and a bed. The hand-crafted living space also contains necessities such as pots and pans. Every item is secured tightly to the circular house as it is constantly in motion. When strapped into the bed, the house can continue to roll while leaving the sleeping occupant undisturbed.
