Because
the skeleton extended past our original pit, we had to open five
new squares. Here Helena Katz (upper left), Patrick Hawkins (middle
left), Aleta Chandler (middle right) and Jeff Supplee (lower
left) work to open the new section. Note that the original pit
is in the upper right of this picture.
Because we knew that this rhino would take a significant
amount of time to remove, and because we intend to work in this
pit long after we finished the rhino, we decided to build a miniature
version of our greenhouses.
Here is the building half-finished with people working
under it. Although the shelter does provide protection from
the rain, its primary purpose is to shade the workers. The building
was built very robustly so the only maintenance that it should
require is to replace the tarp once or twice a year.
Ahhh...working
in the shade! The only draw back to the building, is that
on a cloudy day it can (almost) get too dark to work. However,
most days provide more than enough ambient light.
