[PSUBS-MAILIST] test pool

[Stephen Fordyce via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Hank,
That sounds fantastic!!  I was wondering...
- Is your roof beam rated for the sort of weight you're going to hang off
it?
- Will your pool freeze???  I guess the Styrofoam blocks will insulate it :)

I talked to some people working at a hot dip galvanising place, and one of
their biggest nightmares was the thought that the pool of molten zinc might
freeze.

Cheers,
Steve
