Foiled Again!

Screws: bought 20 for 1,000 UGX (or $0.40 USD) in Masaka, unavailable in Kalisizo.

Installing screws on a roof was much more difficult, and the result was more crinkles in the foil than I'd like.  However, the screws are much more solid!  Definitely a necessity.  Raising/lowering mechanism still to come.

Best position to screw in screws from.  We had to bend it so the wing wasn't in the way of the screwdriver.

Maximum occupancy on Ugandan ladders: 2.

We had to gouge out a little bit of the wood in the frame because reattaching the hinge it shifted and was bumping into the frame so it wouldn't extend properly.

Raising and lowering the panel felt much more stable (if still pretty heavy).

Safety rope tying time!
