His plan was to use the water as a heat sink, as water can never become hotter than 100 degrees. Beneath the pond he installed a meter of ice, wrapped in piezo-foam and pelticours. Under that, he put a meter of wax, and finally a sealant of foamed glass. The living space was created from parts of the house itself, a fact that upset Rani when she came to visit from college. The shelter was outfitted with a year's supply of food, a composter to turn waste into soil, a starship-grade recycler, and a fusion reactor to power it.<ref name="tommy"/> | His plan was to use the water as a heat sink, as water can never become hotter than 100 degrees.
