CANOPY

Oct, 2002 - From looking at the Preview Plans, it looks like this one thing will be a big deal to install correctly.  The manual devotes a whole chapter to the canopy.  I've read other builders' accounts that they spent 2-3 months on it.

July, 2004 - Finally finished the sub panel, and started working on the canopy.
