Hmmmm?  The water in the vault accident raises another question that might 
be of interest to the group.

I would assume that Burlap's instruments are moisture resistant, but not 
water proof.  Nevertheless, our personally built amateur sensors are not.

If one were to build a similar setup as the U of Arkansas did, what be the 
best installation of the connecting pipe containing cables?  Perhaps V-shape 
or dip with the pipe, allowing for drainage? Would some sort of a P-trap be 
applicable?  How could one control or prevent condensation etc?

I was a little concerned with their installation among all those trees. 
Having lived in Arkansas in 2008, I had severe noise level from the tree 
motions on windy days.  (But, I suppose you have to go with what you got! 
Not all installations are ideal.)

Regards to ALL,
Jerry
