Edit/Approval - DIY Tent - Joe Schaffer

Joe –
  
 Terrific OR, well worth a Brownie Point. Even a mechanical/design novice like myself could understand your technical descriptions. (As an aside, it's too bad Roger Caffin, once a BGT Editor, has "retired." He's an accomplished DIY tentmaker who could really give you a going over.)

 ### Cost: 
    About $100 USD.###
 Edit: "Materials Cost" would be more accurate.
  
 The high side is two pieces of mosquito netting rising vertically, separated by a zipper running from about the peak at the trekking pole to two in (5 cm) above ground, ###
 Edit: When using a cardinal number to indicate a measurement it's easier to understand if you use the numeral: here, 2 in. [I suspect you are overcompensating for my frequent edits about writing out single-digit numbers when used for other purposes in text.]
  
 ### Tools required: ###
    Scissors, steel tape, long straight edge, sewing machine.
 EDIT: My only serious EDIT – somewhere (here or under Materials Cost) you should include a list of materials used. X yards of nylon, Y feet of string, etc. Estimates OK.
  
 ### I most often do not carry the curtains and only when I expect wind and have not positioned the tent to face away from it. (I don't know if the tent could get tight enough with coated curtains to cause oxygen deprivation issues, but that was in the back of my mind as supporting the reasons to use uncoated nylon.)###
 Edit: I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here. Maybe "only do when I expect" or "and only use them when" if that's the intent.
  
 ### Guy line tension effects the tent's structure. ###
 EDIT: tension affects
  
 
 ### I'm very satisfied with this shelter for it's light weight, interior volume, minimal packed bulk and durability of fabric.###
 EDIT: its light weight [no apostrophe]
