Hi all. I've been busy working on my outdoor deck and theater project since I started in Oct 6, 2007. Does that mean it's been six months come April 7th? I think it does. Sound like a lot of time, but considering the progress I've made, in what is basically the dead of winter and a do-nothing period for many in the country, I don't feel too bad. I might even tighten up the loose ends before the six month deadline.

I've updated my Flickr set noted in the first post. It's up to something like 61 photos to date. I'm going to try and attack a few lower rez favorites of mine to this post....
I'm at the point of considering the outdoor screen. I have tried using canvas attached to the rear lattice, but I'd prefer something more sturdy, and the lattice might just be a bit too far away from my deck (viewing area) It's actually something over thirty feet from the front of the top deck where the gazebo sits to the fence.
Short of putting in even more 4x4 posts somewhere closer to the deck to attack lightweight plywood onto, I really haven't thought of many other options. I think I want a screen that is at least 16 feet wide (I've been running the idea of four 4x8 sheets of thin plywood, two high stacked sideways for 8x16) That would mean three more 4x4 twelve foot posts. I would use industrial strength velcro to attach the four panels (they'd share attachment to the middle post). When I take the screen down the only thing left are the three posts. I guess I could disguise them as lightpoles by topping them with some fancy low voltage yard lights? I think I'll run another test outside off the existing rear lattice before I go to any more digging. I'm about dug out.
Enjoy.
