The lost technology of awnings. Technology Connections strikes again!

Since no one has provided the Technology Connections link yet... Enjoy losing the next 20 minutes to learning about awnings!

Wait, he did a video on awnings? That sounds like a fascinating half hour I never knew I needed.

Don't need to look to know it's at least an hour.

I was gonna say hour but I hedged my bets 😂

Never hedge your bets. Go all in or leave the table.

Really? I heard that you got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.

Not dedicated to awnings, I think it was part of one of his home heating/cooling videos. Been awhile. He convinced me to put them on my house the next time I do the roof.

I really want solar panel awnings over our deck. It’s south facing and the painted surface is easily 140°F in the sun.

Just need a cheap way to use the power from it to run the AC just in the other side of the porch.
