It was the fourth year (I think? Possibly fifth?) for my semi-folding 6' stretch. The wall and roof hinges are still good despite no protective foil tape, but a big strip of the flashing I made around the door flew away at one point. It acquired a few dings in storage, but they were all patched easily enough with bidi. My only real concern is what I think is mould. There are little grainy black patches all over the foil, with "matching" black patches where those would fold against the adjacent wall during storage. I'm not sure how this happened though—it's been stored in a garage in Las Vegas all its life so far, which is a pretty dry climate. Previous to this year the only time it's been anywhere near moisture was the sixteen spots of rain we got on-Playa in 2012. A little wipe at one of the black patches with isopropyl alcohol left a black sooty smudge on the kitchen paper, but so did a wipe over a clean patch of foil, so that's kind of inconclusive. No respiratory complaints evident from myself or my yurtmate, should I be worried? Is it worth trying hard to remove next year? With what?
