Good advice LJR, I’ll do that. I ran the idea by my wife the other day and she loved it. We are getting ready to do some work that may need stucco repair anyway, so it would be wise to do both things at once.

SP, I can see how what I wrote was unclear. I am thinking about just removing the patio cover all together. Ripping it out. Removing it will let more light into the house when I want it in, and keep me from feeling enclosed when I’m kickin back in a chair out back.
