Oh, right, another project.

This one has been discussed sine the first BM event.  I just never have gotten to it.  The idea was to create a shower room.  A luxury in the desert, I must say.  In a gifting event, much of what I have considered gifting just doesn't really mean much.  MOOP waiting to happen.  But a shower, for some, and a place to do that with some privacy, modesty, is quite a fine gift.  It can't be taken with, but as many of the best gifts, it will be carried away without loss.  Plus, I just like the idea, for a number of reasons.  I like to build things, for one thing.  Oh, what am I discussing?  A hexayurt.  Here is a rough examination of the process.  Though I would have to get more detailed plans   But this is a start.


A major problem I am seeing, right off the bat, is how to get the thing from here to... anywhere... intact.  Sure, sandwich between plywood, perhaps even plastic wrapping that so the wind doesn't potentially tear chunks out (and to add to fuel economy, in theory).  What I am not sure about is exactly how wide the whole thing would be, or long.  I have a decent sized vehicle, but...  I'll look at detailed plans in this next week, and consider affordability along with all else that is going on.  If it works, the hexayurt would be a decent tool for camping.  If it is sized just right, beside being a shower room, it could also work as an extra layer on top of a tent, though only for car camping...  Hmm... seems excessive though.  It would be convenient for a burn or two a year, if I can get the size right.

I did make a couple of attempts at finding his site, to compare the cost and design of his pre-made hexayurt, but couldn't find an offering.   I may check again, sometime.  Or not.  Being Doom means wandering, wondering, and being lost in some sort of fog so that what happens is almost accidental just as the way things work.  I never know if what I want or hope to do will happen, or not in the way or timing I had expected or suspected.  Still... the notion is there.  I am just out of time for more wandering in this particular area.

Well, it is on the books as a potential project.  The cost is a bit steep, though prices do fluctuate, up and down of late.  So pricing might be a good deal more or less at this time.  I just, finally, have the time and wherewithal to consider the project, so went looking for more information.  Now to find more detailed plans.  I don't need eight foot, wall to wall, clearance, but I probably need the center to be at least seven to eight foot to have a shower I don't have to squat to use.  Remember, the shower head, some sort of water lines, and a few other things have to go in there too.  Other than that, I'm not all that picky.  Finally, geometry might actually be functionally, if only slightly, useful!  But, no, I won't pull out the books.  A few simple functions, such as angles of triangles, should suffice.

Hmm...  breakfast sounds good.  More coffee even better.  I should turn the furnace up, it is cold this morning.  Then, perhaps, I can begin getting dishes soaking.  I have company arriving early this afternoon, and maybe a pizza late lunch.  I should get things rolling.  Later.
