A week of Normal

[sanada_g]

It felt good to be out and working on a big project again but I didn't miss having to always be on my guard for dangers. Fortunately we were able to get a few structures set up for safety and comfort and the first areas of the mine opened up with only a few minor scratches and bruises. 

 
Now that I'm back on the base I have a chance to catch up on the smaller projects of engineering and to find time to relax. And to work out properly. Engineering is a workout but it doesn't hit all the muscle groups or as much cardio as I like. 



Renji, do you want to help me with a personal project?

I had an idea for the hydroponic setup. Something like this, but taller. Maybe 3 stacks? And to make it sturdier, a tapered effect. Thicker/heavier at the bottom and going smaller to the third level. Thoughts?

I think that would be feasible but we'd need to change some parts of the structure and material to make it for the base and make it more stable and sturdy enough to survive handling by staff and harvesting of plants. Let me take a look at our inventory and draft up a couple designs for you.

I did mention thicker/sturdier at the bottom, Sanada. If we could manage it, I think a wood base embedded in the ground to start, then building up from that would be the most beneficial. That might allow to go above three levels if done correctly. Then PVC for the rest since we really just need the base to be sturdy enough to take the weight of the rest. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
