Evapotron – Spiritual Playa https://spiritualplaya.org Christian Science Camp at Burning Man - "Life, Truth, Love: The Christian Science Experience" - aka "Healing Foot Wash Life Truth Love" Fri, 16 Aug 2013 19:38:57 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9 45373213 Evapotron progress! https://spiritualplaya.org/2013/08/07/evapotron-progress/ https://spiritualplaya.org/2013/08/07/evapotron-progress/#respond Wed, 07 Aug 2013 19:13:53 +0000 http://spiritualplaya.org/?p=249 Continue reading Evapotron progress! →]]> Our initial attempts to cut the metal lath material we’re using for increasing surface area on our evapotron were not pretty — dull tin snips were not the right tool for that job.  Thankfully we were able to consult with Gabriel’s brother-in-law Mike, who runs a pre-fabrication shop in San Francisco, and he knew exactly what would be best to cut the material.  He also offered to make the cuts, which was a definite blessing.
