The cabling was intense: 300+ feet of 12-gauge and certainly well over 1,000 feet of signal wires.

I had to go in there to drain after this test. And no, the heating system wasn't available, so this is ice water.

And Mary and Bruce laughed as I shivered.

If you really want to see how fast I can run in water, picture this shrimp scaled up to fit in the dog tank with me!

On the subject of the heating system, it's time. There were no adequate fittings for this purpose, so of course, it was time to fabricate some.

Likewise, it wasn't possible to buy washers of the right size even. I had to make a die and stamp my own.

The six heating elements are each 2,000 watts, the highest we can drive with 120 volts at 20 amps. They're made for regular water heaters that provide their own ground. We didn't, so I had to make rings for a specialized ground.
