Being home for a few days is just about to do me in. But, in about a week, we'll be sitting at another campground for a spell. Meanwhile, as always, we are enjoying our Montana at home.
So, my Montana sits positioned due East and West. Front is East. That means, with the awnings out on both sides (I have awnings on both sides), in the morning, the awnings cast no shade. The South side is almost always sunny, until later evening. And the North side is our driveway. (rear door on opposite side).
When camping, we often set our lawn chairs under the over-hang, where the King Pin is. Especially when it rains, we love sitting under there. So, this is pretty normal for us. At home, we found sitting under the King Pin actually creates the most shade and if we set up our Quick Shade in front of the King Pin, it creates a really nice shadow, even in the morning sun.
So today (Saturday) we were sitting outside under the King Pin area when another one of my crazy ideas was born. We do not have cable television, satellite television, and very seldom ever watch over-the-air. But we do have streaming television with our Visible phone and with our home WIFI. Another thing, even when camping, we do enjoy bringing our a small Roku television and watching it outside. This the idea was born:
I had scrap 1/4 inch plywood. I cut it to size on my radial arm saw. Drilled holes with my drill press. Used some left over chain from a project about 4 years ago, and presto! A new location to hang the television! Since we do not have any coax cable connected, this worked real sweet!
The photos tell the whole story! Enjoy. Maybe someone else will want to do the same thing!
