Do you ever ask yourself, “Why did I not do that in the first place?”
During summer the sun turns the bedroom into an oven. Thus, I have to close the shutter and use a curtain inside. Now after much living with the situation for years (since 2019), an idea came to me and I implemented that idea…

Awning Shutter…

Another view…

Front view…

Closed and locked down…
At the beginning…
Then as life progressed?
I have changed things as far as windows go…
Now I can still see out from inside, yet the suns rays are diffused and altered in their desire to bake the room inside. It actually worked very well and I like it…
Now I just need to paint everything to match the home…

Added a half open support…
