To Bo,

If the question comes up again about putting more people in Bredo's dry ice box,

I thought of the following:

What would it cost to increase the box height with about 1 foot?


e.g. using 2 by 4's and plywood and blue boards and astro star and rockwool etc,
and basically add a foot to the existing walls of the box?


and then add a 1 foot tall step or floor in front of the whole box too, so it 
would be no harder to get to open the lid?

What would it cost to have this done?

Hypothetically I mean,


at least then you can quote a price to the media of what it would cost to take 
in one or more people in a taller box in the same shed.


The cost would be the cost of adding height to the box, and the cost of freezing
the person elsewhere, the cost of shipping the person to Nederland, in a dry 
ice travel box, and the rent of such a travel box,

and then of course 1/2 or 1/3 of the annual dry ice cost and upkeep costs at our
site and some annual rent for being there.

All preferably paid for by annual interest from a trust,  After the initial 
freezing and shipping expenses are covered the annual expenses per person should
be less than what we are paying annually for adding dry ice on Bredo today.

e.g. less than USD 7500 a year, maybe USD 5,000 a year would be a price to 
quote, or possibly as low as USD 2,500 a year. e.g. with 3 people splitting the 
cost we today have to maintain Bredo.


With the above 1 foot extension the same box would fit for three people and we 
could still get the same amount of dry ice in as we are using now too.

It seems to be a cheaper solution than getting a bigger shed,

and also more cost effective than having two dry ice boxes or two sheds, or one 
dry ice box and one electrical freezer,

and certainly less expensive than putting in a liquid nitrogen dewar in the two 
story area on the south side of the main concrete building.


If money ever is there, e.g. from a potential client, then the liquid nitrogen 
dewar is the best storage opption,
e.g. least biological breakdown, by means of being so cold.

Sincerelt,
