Hold the presses!

Helen just informed that my memory, huh?, is defective, for let's see.....
the googleplexth time.

We did not use ripstop fabric, it was a coated nylon taffeta, it is used to
make exterior banners and flags.  The distinction is lost on me , a mere
man.  As I am told, the ripstop, while it indeed will not rip, tends to fray
at the seams more than this tight weave coated nylon taffeta.

Helen said that we spent about $300 on materials.  The yards do add up.  Our
awning is as big as I could fit, I think it is 9.5 feet long.  Covers the
sliding door from open to closed and then some on each end.

To do the "wall", you really need a big space for the sewing.  We have an
upstairs on our garage that is 28'  wide, made for a nice layout area.
