-
- 'Tis easy--current plans (subject to change at any moment) call for the
- stereo electronics to be mounted elsewhere in the bathroom (not in the
- shower) behind a mirror or somesuch; the speakers are flush-mounted above
- and a bit away from the shower area and would not contain paper drivers
- (bad things to use under any circumstances, anyway) so that they will be
- unaffected by changes in humidity.
-
- The books are even easier to keep dry--you wouldn't use the fold-out
- reading table unless you were taking a tub bath, in which case the only
- shower head that you might be using would be the one on the gooseneck
- (but we won't get into the details of that right now) and the bookcase
- would, as you might imagine, be outside of the shower entirely.
-
- Trygve (Oh, well; for the moment I'll just have to amuse myself by
- illuminating the hot tub room just with candles and tossing
- some dry ice in for effect.)
