Keeping the Arcosanti site in good condition is a matter of attending to many small details. This keeps our Maintenance crew very busy. The recent rains brought to attention a detached rubber gasket on one of the East Crescent apartment skylights. Gustav Bjoereman, Randall Schultz, and Segolene Gautier (L to R) work to repair the skylight.

Using a trick learned by Randall from an automotive repairman, the crew inserts a string into the gap between the torn rubber and the edge of the glass. Gustav then pulls the string up and towards him, tearing what remains of the gasket from the skylight.

Randall cuts and glues a new gasket into place, sealing and securing the glass.
