Sounds fine to me, Just wasnt finished yet. The next step would
have been to replace the insulation, cut down the jacket and replace, =
then
some wood
'hot tub" style to make it look nice and hide sharp edges. From there I
would probably make some steps and a landing /deck to save your back, =
then
space and materials permitting I would make ether a jib crane off of a =
wall
or an A frame and beam , for lifting parts out of the stuff.
Also a nat gas water heater could be rejetted to burn propane ( =
you
can buy them that way also for trailers etc. ) you would have to make a =
lot
of adjustments to vent fumes ( in your house it vents up the middle like =
a
long donut ) but it would be lots cheaper than electric. and of course =
you
would have to observe all safty pracices re FIRE .
Cool thought tho anyone neer Surrey BC Canada want one? I'd build
one just for the fun of building it plus the cost of matterials ( ruf =
guess
$50 - $100 can depending on cost of used tank and desired finished app.) =
But
unfortunatly I have no space to put it. :(
