Entertainment at Home – Screen Room – Our Outside Extended Area – Sheltering Us from Direct Sunlight and Wind – Sometimes Toppled by Strong Winds – Oh Well – Stuff Happens –

Steve and I spend leisure time working on our first jigsaw puzzle together. We thought we would have lots of spare time in our new RV life, but it hasn’t happened that way. Still, we find time for relaxing. We hope we will finish this fantastic puzzle soon before a windy day blows it away. Ha ha. Really, it could happen.

The screen room has blown over a few times during strong winds. It was a simple process to reconstruct it, but if our puzzle is swept away, we will be disappointed. The screen room should be constructed on ground like a tent, because stakes driven in the ground are meant to hold it up. Our screen room stands (or falls) on a cement slab. Three stakes stuck in the ground on the edges of the pavement hold three sides of the screen room securely, but one side is supported by Steve’s ingenious invention, a five gallon container of water fastened to the appropriate pole. We will see if it holds when the wind picks up again. Of course, we prefer to finish the puzzle before the wind blows.
