another shot of "it" on day 46. i folded a 8 foot wide roll of tyvek over and doubled it up and then duct taped all four corners. then set up 6 rebar pieces. once the corner is secured by punching a hole threw the duct tape and tying with wire to the rebar, see where the side lines up with your middle piece of rebar. after lining it up, add duct tape on the side where the wire will go through. the duct tape helps preventing the tyvek from ttearing at the ties. we will see how they hold up in a high wind storm, but i think they will do fine and the white color with 95 degree temps should stop the heat absorbed by blue tarps and reflect sun to give a nice steady cooler airflow around the kins.
