Tit bits Pipeline welding in the Arctic. Here is a link to a video of pipeline welding using automatic machines, lots of equipment, lots of labour crews. The complete operation is very similar to laying and welding pipelines underwater,  except that all the underwater work was done by six saturation diver/welders, in teams of 2 and all the welding was done by hand. We could never get the robotic machinery to work in the habitat, underwater,  back in the early 70's. They were cowboy pioneer days, but we got the job done in harsh North Sea conditions. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=328476600981299&id=311115066050786&sfnsn=mo

Ukatani has a huge, unused cast iron bathtub in the master. It's very large and dangerous to get in and out of. Decided not to demolish it, just yet, it would be a major demolition . Repurposed a removed closet door, to make a bath cover. Maarten has a lot of tools and is pretty handy. Some tricky fitting. I'm sure it will be covered with plants.

Saw some some model sailplanes with pusher electric motors and folding props. The pilots use the motors for take off and altitude and can keep them aloft for a long time, kicking in the electric motor to regain altitude and maintain the sailplane over the designated flying area.
