RE: [WISPA] Potential Wireless Access Point converted to a Home

2007-08-23 Thread D. Ryan Spott
I lived in a redwood water tower for about 6 months in Northern California.
My room was right below the tank. The tank sat on a tar covered floor with
drains on all 4 corners. I really couldn't figure out why they needed drains
_below_ the tank.. maybe for overflow.. who knew.. About a week later I hear
water running and I freak out thinking I am going to have a 1000 gallon bath
in bed so I run up to find the tank leaking between every vertical board.

I called the landlord at the next house over to tell him he needed to
tighten the steel bands that wrapped the tank because it was leaking so bad!
He laughed and called me a city boy. Turns out the redwood shrinks when the
tank drains and then expands as it fills, pressing against the steel bands.
The drains in the floor were designed to catch and drain the overflow while
the boards in the tank soaked up water and expanded.

Useless trivia, I thought it was kinda cool.
