No hurry, but the shower frames are setting in my yard and April is six months away, if you catch my drift...



I've already had to suppress thoughts on a green house, a covered wood shed, and my recurring fantasy for a Federation Shuttle Craft.  I know it's ya'll shower frame and all, but I can see "NCC-1701/7" and "---U.S.S. Enterprise---" painted on the side of it just as plain as day....



How about waddle and daub?

No, not a have to do tomorrow hurry.  April is the next event, but we do not

want to be working on showers in March either.  Improving the old design is

obviously a desirable thing.  Research is what these emails are all about.

We've had some very good ideas.  There is certainly time to consider any and

all options.



We are seriously looking at holding some events at another primitive site

near Conroe.  It already has electric and water. ( no barrels needed )  That

means that there is a very strong possibility that we will want to be able

to transport the showers easily.  "Easily" being the functional word in that

last sentence.



The weight of the plywood made it impossible for a medium size crew to get

the showers on a trailer with a ramp.  To me, that gives plywood a big

minus.



Removable panels are a good idea as long as it takes almost no time to

remove and install them.  We have to remember that the SCA is a volunteer

organization and that many of us steal time from our mundane task to do

things like transporting showers.  When it is necessary for four, five or

six people to drive from different cities just to move the showers, time

becomes even more precious.  There is little time for bolting and unbolting

before the stolen time is used up.  If side panels are to be removed for

transport it has to be simple and quick.



I am thrilled that so much interest has been generated toward making sure we

have a useable system.  I look forward to seeing drawn designs.  The Barony

is growing and it is wonderful that members are working together in this

reasonable manner.  No doubt, there will be more questions to be answered

over the next few meetings.  I am sure that we have not heard from everyone

on the issue yet.



Peace,
