Tail Drying

[Merman Chris]

Our oceans won't be until July.....but hopefully the pool heater will be on in a few weeks.

Awesome July can't ever seem to get anywhere fast enough :P

[Merman Chris]

Yes especially here in "sunny socal".....pffffft!!!

[Mermaid Sirena]

Bah humbug some of us are still waking up with frost on our windows -.- Still it's been a strangely warm winter, pretty sure its going to snow in july/june though :P

[SeaNymph]

You are not alone in the cold, Sirena, and I can perfectly understand you. I hate waiting for the few warm days in July/August too. Today it's snowing outside and even swimming in inside pools is somehow always to cold...

Just found this video and didn't know where else to put it, but this looks like a really neat way to store/ show off tails! (though putting wet tails inside your house would be a no no, you could set up something similar in an outside area.)

I posted this in another thread, but I'll cross post

I now have a place to hang my tail and I got the idea from Kariel's video. Here's a screen shot of an up close look at Kariel's stands for those who are curious-



You can see she used hooks that are usually used for decorative purposes outside, but it gives it a much fancier feel.

Me, I just went for the cheapest thing at Home Depot :P



Handy hooks $2.94 each
Pipe insulation(found in plumbing section): $2.47
Dry wall tripple grip screws: $6.98

Result-







(Sorry for the crappy lighting.) Simple yet effective

I've been wanting to do this for quite some time, thank you for posting Iona! I'm glad its not super expensive to do! Its also a lovely conversation starter when inviting guests into the home (lol lol)

The garage would be a good place if you can install some sun lights and warm air cupboards like the type you find in a hospital.

Isn't there a lot of dust when you hang them up exposed like that?

Very cool! I will definitively consider making those wall hooks for my mermaid tail! Thank you fro sharing this idea!

Very cool! Have I told you I LOVE the new scale pattern? It is GORGEOUS. I loooove scales that have a pointed look.
