Looks great, IMHO! Is that an outdoor thermometer attached to the wall upper left?
Speaking of outdoor living, I replaced a small (24") flat screen on my front deck that had succumbed to weather, I'm guessing. Even though it sits under the canopy, rain still finds it's way under there when we get certain downpours. $118 at Walmart and we're good for another fall football season!
I'm also installed oscillating fans. I have one already mounted just above and behind where I sit and for now have the other one sitting atop this Tiki. To be honest, I just sat it there to run while I was working - but after looking at it - I actually like the whole appearance of a fan on top of a Tiki, so might leave it that way. Also having a fan sit upright seems to be more efficient at it's job than the ones I have hanging.
Right now the TV gets it's signal solely from a digital antenna. I still get a lot of different stations and it's true HD, but eventually I will stick a firestick in it and stream, once I get a wifi router.
Really enjoyed the program on this morning..."Marty Stouffer's Wild America" about Polar Bears on a station called Buzzer.
BTW, that palm is called a
Dypsis pembana. It's planted in the ground as all of mine are around and inside the deck. Eventually as it grows it will provide a nice canopy above the aluminum pan canopy I installed, helping to cool and add personality. It's a clumping (multiple stem/trunk) palm too so I will always have foliage underneath to whatever extent I want.
