Tired of the rain

Seems like it has been feast or famine with the rain this year and I like to cook outside...so I built a covering for my eggs to cook under. Not nearly the Chicken Coop, but it will do for me.

    That's just too clever!  I was always thinking any "roof" over my Eggs would put the whole thing in the shade.  Never occurred to me you could use a mostly transparent material.  Way cool!

    Looks good from here! BTW is that hut down the hill in the background also yours? If so what do you store in it? Still enjoying your summer off?

    Thanks @Theophan , The 'smoke' colored panels let lots of light through, but give me a little shade for the lunch cooks. @RRP As a principal my summer never really got rolling, but I enjoyed a little time off and less late nights with activities (aka. more time to cook!). The 'hut', or 'shed' as I call it stores many things at different times. Boats and campers have called it home but currently it is a couple grills, riding mower, and other gas powered equipment.
