Awning: the final voyage

Nov 07, 2013 4 Replies

Back in July I told you I was going to try to replace the awning at our backdoor. Conclusions: The Bernina 550QE did just fine. The construction was quite simple. Hefting and heaving the weight over around was a burden I'll never pick up again. The awning looks nice but that's a hard way to save money. Next time, I'll happily pay the guys with the industrial machines and strong arms. Polly



LOL! Yeah, sometimes you just need to leave a job to the experts.

I had been wondering how the awning went up, or if you had given up on THAT project! I don't know that I would have been as "brave" as you, to attempt it! Barbara in FL

Polly, that's one of the jobs that would have me giving DH a "Wife Look," that says, are you just a little bit out of your mind. No way, no how! You are a brave woman,Polly. Congratulations on a fine achievement. Juno

I don't know. It might be easier to hire it done, but right now that awning is YOURS. It might have saved money doing it yourself, but it is also a point of pride. Most folks are afraid to even try.
