bilby commented on the word rebar
"To reduce heat gain in the hot Arizona summers, they painted the house white so it reflects sunlight and reduces heat absorption and discomfort. They also increased the length of the overhang (eaves), providing additional shade. They constructed trellises from salvaged rebar and steel mesh, then planted vegetables that grow on vines."
