I left some names of the helpers off my last post. One of them was Sara Ranzau.
Also, the camp shower walls on the outside and the inside are made of black plastic wrap which was stapled to the studs of the structure and covered with wood strips and stapled again to help reinforce the plastic. The water after showering drains into an ingenious gutter along the edge of the structure and then dumps into a pipe fitted into a sewer manhole next to the back of the structure. Anyone wishing to conserve water could take a bucket sponge bath and dump the water next to a tree somewhere out of sight, especially if they are using bio-degradable soap. In my opinion, it is more environmental conscious to dump shower water on landscaping, than to put it in the sewer. I would like to add that Bob plans to have solar powered LED lights above the shower stalls. That may be a 1st for a caving convention. At the moment the floor of the showers is plywood painted with white paint. Someone could stick on some grippy stickers shaped like bats or something if they wanted to. I presume there will be an outhouse near the showers, or within an easy walk. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
