Green Panel reconstruction

After obtaining permission we now have our fake roof on the roof enclosed against the elements. This was again performed by using only waste wood gathered from the UT's various buildings, inherited nails, available handheld tools (no electricity), and breaking an axe. The result is two permanently enclosed sides, and looking from the back, a sliding left panel and a removable right panel to access the batteries and sensors behind. 

After a storm this week the left hand side panels needed some touching up but now the structure is solid. We now hope to get a higher difference in temperature between the top and bottom of the roof tiles. We still hope to replace the plastic tape and covers with more durable official sensebox covers.
