[Ravensfort] showers / Re: [rfofficers] Gundy's Find

[byzytym]

Speaking of events... we need to sit down and look at plans for the new shower walls.  The first weekend in April will be here before we know it.

Having Autocrated at The Stones and therefore maintained the showers more than anyone else and also being the person that has filled the water barrels more than anyone else, I would like to give my input, for what it is worth.  Whatever we decided, I will be happy to lend a hand in reconstruction.

I really like Saint David's idea to use metal for the walls.  It should be cheaper and should never have to be replaced in our life time.  ( Something that should appeal to the financial committee.)  We could bring the metal almost to the ground and not have to worry about rot.  Rust can be dealt with by using a good quality rust repair paint.  They are remarkable now adays.  They actually convert the compound of the rust and bonds it to the metal.  Also the showers will be lighter and so easier to move around if need be.  That is especially important if we are planning to use an alternate primitive site.  The old wood was so heavy we had to remove it before we could relocate the showers to DSD's for repair.  Marine grade plywood is very heavy and very expensive.  The bulky 2x6 wood frame work could be eliminated all together.  A small amount of door frame wood would be good to keep soft naked bodies away from sharp edges.  That could be installed so that the metal would not have to be removed to change the wood.  If we do decide to use metal, a design improvement would be in line.  

Anyone else got any suggestions ??

In peaceful service to the Barony,

P. S. I am sending a copy of this email to the Raven's Fort list ( with the previous officers stuff deleted ) as I believe that this is an issue that can benefit from expanded perspectives and suggestions.
