    The basic idea is that the new strips get adhered and riveted over the original strips.

    A friend of mine (in a normal house with AC, but still is hot sleeping) said she bought a dog cooling pad at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for $40). Put it under her sheet and said it works great. Lol. ...

    I was working on getting bamboo planted this weekend, and as the weather is going to hold out for a little I uncovered the platform and got a decent updated picture. I still have to build a small 8x8...

    I resisted the urge on the other thread but it's mainly visible & IR radiation, not UV, that transfers most of the energy we feel as heat from the sun. UV on the other hand has a tendency to age...

    Here's an easy way. Get the tarp laid out, and pick a focal point of the yurt. Drive a stake through the tarp that has a nail in the top. Or have a friend hold the dumb end of a tape at the focal...
