Test went Well

I put some test water in to make sure everything work!!

A few small drips, but easily fixed.

Everything is Set for the Test

All the plumbing is put together and sealed up.

Water should go in tomorrow with the salt soon to follow.

The Door

The door turned out pretty good.

Plumbing Redesign

After talking with David (who sold me the plumbing equipment) I had to redesign the system.

I got a crash course in fluid dynamics.

So here is the new set up.

The end goal was to remove elbows and create a more direct flow for the water.

Plumbing is Close

So after rounding up all the pieces I set the plumbing up today.

Waiting to make sure it's correct before gluing it all together.

The top and bottom pipes are for air flow.

Close up.

And inside the tank.

And so it begins

This blog will record my adventure of turning an old trailer into a shed to house a sensory deprivation tank. Don't ask why, because I don't have an answer for you.

It all started after I first tried a tank down in LA. After the first session I was so amazed that I had to try it again. I have now floated an additional four times at different tank location on the west cost (all locations come very highly recommend):

• Float Labs in LA
• Float On in Portland
• Samadhi Tank Co in Nevada City, CA

What amazes me about floating in a tank:

• The environment is like no other place on the planet.
• The Epson Salt seems to strip away the stress from my muscles and it feels like you have just gotten a message when you get out.
• The lack of any inputs seems to "reboot" your brain in someway.
• With this "reboot", your thinking becomes extremely clear and simple (for about 10 hours).

In a way you could call this a "do not give a f@&* box", because that how you feel when you get out. With that said I have been trying to find a way to be able to float more often. The problem is their is not a float tank in Salt Lake. So, I have decided to attempt to build one.

So why build it in a trailer? Due to my current vagabond lifestyle my house is to small and temporary. So a movable exterior building seems to be the best call.

Another key reason for the exterior structure is the great experience I had at Samadhi. When setting up the appointment I was a bit concerned with the fact the tank was at a private residence. "Was it going to be too weird doing this in someone else's house?" Lee put all these concerns to rest the second I arrived. The tank was located in it's own little building, giving you a sense of privacy during the float. I loved this aspect of the experience. Plus she let my dogs hang out while I was in the tank!

And so begins my journey .........
