Today, the first thing of the new week, we went up on our roof of our temporary living quarters to take down the Sun Shield from over our long corridor transparent roof “window”. It was falling apart and splitting in lots of places, we could just tug at the material and it would rip quite easily, so we undid all the clamping piece of wood and unthreaded the rope, folded it up and dumped it into our bin. Looking back in our records, it seems that we created this version of the shield back in April 2018, see Sun Shield Over Corridor Created and Mounted for details of us doing sewing, so it has done just about three and half years of service, coping with the powerful radiation coming from our Sun.
Next year, we will repeat the job of buying a new tarpaulin and making a new sun shield.
