[PSUBS-MAILIST] test pool

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Rick, just trembled rust paint.  I am in fresh water plus the sub is only in the water for short periods of time.  This is actually all I ever use.Hank

 Thanks Cliff, I will run some vertical supports from the base to the ceiling joists.  I like the pool in the yard idea also but I am too impatient, plus I have to work for a month or so starting March.  Also I have an electric hoist on my new beam I installed  to lift the sub in and out.   It's too hot in Texas for this cowboy but my wife says its perfect for her.  How deep is your pool and how long a drive is it haha.Hank

  No problem if your foundation can take 58K lb load if the thing was fully filled.  Will be flimsy until you fill it.   Even then, since you cannot fill it completely due to future insertion of the E3000, unfilled section will be flimsy until the E3000 is inserted.  For safety I would weld some kind of flange on upper edge after it is filled.   
I like your dig a hole in the backyard with a liner concept better.  
Have you ever heard of the virtue of patience!  If you moved to Texas, you could work year round outside.

 Hi All,I don't think I am patient enough to wait for the ground to thaw to put E3000 in a pool.  So Last summer I bought a heavy pool liner for a round above ground pool.  I want to make a round pool in my shop on top of the concrete floor.  I want to make it from 16 gauge sheet cold roll steel, 6 feet high and 14 feet diameter.  I stick weld the joints with an overlap.  Do you engineer types see any issue with this before I pull the trigger?Hank_______________________________________________
