I'm in the process of researching how to build one. Does that count for anything?

Ok, ive officially built the tee gun on your site. I put 2 holes in and it seemed that the compressor could JUST keep up. It would blow more snow I think if I had a bigger compressor and could mix more water in. I was running it with 45 PSI air and dunno how much water but not a lot. I think it will get down past the minimum wet bulb temp tonight and definately tomarrow so I may try to make some snow.

Oh, and it cost me exactly $40. I used a cheaper $5 ball valve for the water and a better $11 one for the air because it was made for air. I am also gonna buy a check valve for the air because it was really annoying when I had to empty out a bunch of water. Now my tank valve is kinda stuck. Did that ever happen to yours?

Open the drain valve on your air tank and drain out the water..
