Awning Project

In June and July, I finally got around to covering the cement slab in the back yard this summer with the help of my neighbor Xander... basically, its a 16'x20' cover, 2x8 beams, 5/8" plywood and 30 year roofing. Cracked a couple of ribs in the process of putting it up, but it got done. Its got two skylights offcenter to let a little light in. Its raining as I write this, and I just checked for leaks and did not find any, so I guess we did an OK job. :) Here you can see the 2x8s against the ledger that we put into the side of the house...
Here is the completed structure, without any roofing...

With the roofing paper down, and piles of shingles ready to go...

And the finished product... skylights and all...
