When we purchased this house in 1973, it had large canvas awnings for the front and side (west) windows.

They were great during the summer, but had to be taken indoors during the winter.
Way too much work..

We ordered Low-E replacement windows (expect for the picture window), but
it seems they messed up our order and we got the plain model..

If we had not got such a great deal on the installation (from a friend),
I would have sent them back..

I like the idea of the Over-hang.. I see than built into the houses down in Texas.
I was thinking of adding some stylish looking PV panels above my southern windows.
But, my wife doesn't think they look like real awnings..
