Also, how well does this work in the winter when they freeze? How well does it insulate?
.........Probably not an issue in the slums of India, African huts or tin shacks of Haiti.
And I doubt they last very long before leaking starts
.........Their shacks probably already leak.

Well, I like it. Did the same thing to light the inside of our “forts” when I was a kid. Dad showed us how to do it. Learned it in Boy Scouts. He was an Eagle scout. This was 40 years ago for me and 70 for him. Oh well, what was old is new again. Wish I would have known I could have changed mankind tho. Might have changed my outlook on life.
