Hello Summer Time

Well, several new things to mention so I'll get at it.

First we have added two new pages to the blog.  "Curry Road Memories,,,,," and "Food Travel and Humor" is the other new one.  You can find the link to them just under the introduction to the blog and just above the most recent post.   These are added to encourage followers and family to contribute to the blog and let us share in your knowledge and fun.  In the beginning, just send me the story or whatever in an email and I'll post it and give the proper credits  Eventually, we hope to be able to allow other people to post but we're not quite there yet.  

On to the remodeling, we have solved the issue of too much sun coming in on the sun room.  (Sounds like a country song don't it?)  The sun room faces due west and after about 2:30 in the afternoon until after sunset we just got so much sun we couldn't use the room even as our current work area.  The brightness was almost blinding plus the heat was really bad.  So,,,,,

We built new screens and covered them with a product called Coolaroo Snap Shade Screen Product.  Lowes carries the product but you can order it directly or find it at many other home improvement stores and hardware stores.  Its not cheap but its worth the improvement as you will see in the pictures.   We became familiar with this product while Rving since this is the product RV companies use to make sunshades in RVs.

We have seen a tremendous improvement in the visual aspect since we can see out but no one can see in.

 The picture to the left will demonstrate how the normal covered windows still let in bright sunshine while the windows on the right are covered with the sun shade screen.

 This picture gives a idea of how clear the view out is from the room.  We wanted to be able to see the beautiful pastures, woods and animals without impairing our view.  Additionally, I have measured about a 30 degree fall in temperature in the sunshine period of the day.  Thats remarkable and does what we wanted.

From the outside, the windows look a little like a drug dealers car but, hey, nobody back here but Bambi, Porky, Rockin Robin and well you know.

This will save us cooling money in the summer and  when we finally get the sun room remodeled we can enjoy all of the best view with reduced heat in the summer and hail protection when the storms come thru.






Don't forget to go the Curry Road Memories page and send us some info, we're ready to share all we can
