On August 8/9, we made Radio Show 15. The radio show itself was really only a small part of the whole operation, since we did many things after it.
- 10:00 PM-12:00 AM - Radio Show
- 12:00 AM-2:00 AM - Fire Burns to heat water for shower and pool.
- 2:00 AM - Trip to Dunkin Donuts for Andrew to buy something.
- 2:00 AM-2:30 AM - Swimming
- 2:30 AM-3:00 AM - Outdoor Shower (NOT NUDE of course
First of all, we had to devise a method to dispose of Andrew's farts...and here's what I came up with:
;)
;)
A hamster-wheel style blower from an old microwave oven is used to suck the air through the cardboard mailing tube and then up the plastic dryer vent hose. It then exits through the little cleanout door at the bottom of the chimney. It is vented, untreated, to the outside through the flue. It then drifts around the neighborhood in the form of a stinking green cloud.
Then the outdoor showers...
The water had to be heated to take a comfortable shower. We built this simple furnace for the purpose, and by burning wood and charcoal briquettes, the water inside of the copper coil was heated just enough to make warm shower water.
;)
And finally, the shower!
The shower was made from a plastic garden cart usually used to carry plants, waste, and tools around the yard. We cleaned it out and made it into a bathtub. A small electric pump was connected to a hose nozzle with a "Shower" setting. Water from the tub was pumped into the shower...and the top of the nozzle was duct taped to a pole.
