The work on the “cabana” continues. After last night's late hours, we took it easy in the A.M. and commenced work at a leisurely hour. We met with the Crew—the six folks from the community who have been designated “system chiefs”—and explained the day's intended proceedings: we were to paint all of the wood to protect it from the elements, cut the posts to match the designed angle of the roof, and begin raiser rafters and fascia. We explained the design angle, or the “angle of incidence,” which is the optimal roof/panel pitch for harnessing the sun's energy.
The Crew, many additional members of the Yua community, and EWB worked side-by-side throughout the day, ultimately resulting in: (photo)
