My Janky Founding Tube Storage Box Of Silence and Vibration Reduction and Also Darkness
Hey all! Looking at my own creation made me laugh. But also, it’s been super effective and helpful for me. Maybe it might help someone else! Cost was $10 USD. They also make V or wedge shaped soundproof foam but the triangle stuff was on sale and to be honest I like that it sort of reminds me of those blue turtle shells from Mario kart. I ran a heating cable thru the top of the box so the top row of tubes have the forward part of the tubes warmed up (experimented with it to make sure I wouldn’t create condensation). This room stays a constant temp year round. It has also simplified checking on the tubes, they just slide out with much less jostling and shaking involved. As long as I’m conscientious, I haven’t even made my more skittish queens panic so I’m calling that a win.
