[bolger] Re: revised bulkheads
Solid foam would do the trick, but I wanted the storage. I constructed a
channel of wood, although I considered a half-pipe, too. I could have
built a second chnnel on the other side, but the access became next to
impossible as n afterthought.
I am considering gluing the pump on top of the wooden channel. Presently,
I toss the pump on the floor and plug it into a cigarette lighter recep.
