Shadecloth out, natural light in!

Back here, we mentioned our plan to get rid of the shadecloth-covered pergola thingo that ran along one side of the house.


Reasons we hated it:
  1. It was ugly!
  2. It made the blue bedroom and back bathroom dark, gloomy, and tinged with green (due to the green-coloured shadecloth)
Steve's Dad and brother came over to help, and together the boys had it down in no time at all. And what a difference inside and out!


This area is still pretty awful and messy, but some crushed rock and a new side fence should make a big difference. We'll get there one day!

  1. Love it when something simple and inexpensive makes such an improvement. Rare in the renovating game, but what a blessing when it happens!
