The fact that not all of the funk goes into the whites during the shaking out process that causes problems with the lack of showering.

-B | Or some of it rebounds ( in horror, no doubt ) from the funk already in the uniform, curdled and fermented after months of being concentrated by being wadded up and stuffed into the mask instead of being laundered or even aired out... | |

| Ripost,
In addition to what I imed, here are some pictures that illustrate the shelf for the reels, the stopper idea, and the conduit for the wires. further construction photos are available off the main page of prise's website (scroll down a bit). | |

| This is what i PM'd to Ripost. Thought I would post it here for others to see if they are planning on doing it / make comments on what has been done here.
The reels are set on a slightly angled shelf with a block of wood acting as a stopper in the front. The shelving is attached to some sheet metal brackets that are then attached to the beams overhead. The reels are connected to the box via four condutor telephone wire that is run through metal conduit pipes to the box. The strips have a small copper pad underneath them (1" x 2") that is soldered to a wire. the wire is run through a channel in the floor over to the post where the box lives. The channel was then filled in with wood putty and the wire continues up the post in a metal conduit pipe to the box.
If you need any more specifics, your best bet is to contact David Blake (owner of the club). His cell phone / the number of the club are listed on the pise de fer website ( http://www.prisedefer.com )
Also, there are tons of pictures on the PdF website as well that may give you more insight into how everything is set up. the links are on the front page (under progress reports).
