The west end of that awning has always been a problem, because the afternoon sun comes in under the west end as the sun goes down. So, I bough an extra-long tarp and I'm experimenting with a Roman Shade concept for that western exposure. Hopefully it will make the deck more liveable in the late afternoon sun.
I promised the boys I'd cook ribs for the evening meal. About 1:00 I'll put them on the smoker. With beans and potato salad that should be about right and they'll be well fed before I bring them home after supper. Grandson Zach showed up late yesterday afternoon and spent the night, so I've got the company of three fine fellows. They're in the pool now, but we may have to do some shooting this afternoon while the ribs are cooking.
All in a day's work.

Pick up a piece of wood deck lattice and place it on the most troublesome side of the new sun awning. That will provide shade but still let a breeze to move through/
It needs a Lowe's outdoor ceiling fan #294981. I put one our porch at the lake, and the girls love it.
SprtPilot - Thanks, but I hate wood lattice. Abhor it.
Ed - That's in the plan, shortly after we install the roof. The deck is already wired, so a ceiling fan should be easy.
Double the time, and triple the cost... :-) Not that 'I' have ever done that... Nope... Sigh. And the Roman Shade works!
