Not quite the shot I wanted but, this is me standing next to the round window looking now to the Southeast. I guess the palm frond shadow thru the window is cool though.

Looking great Bill. Your house has the clean lines for the art deco look. (any where to put glass blocks?) I might have to swing by again on my way home from work and check it out in person (of course if you are home).

Bill, that palm frond in the window gave me an idea. If you want to add a palm graphic to one of those round windows in 'etched glass' looking vinyl it will be very cheap for the material ($10 maybe) and I'll cut it and prep it for you at no cost of course. I created the graphic below to be cut out of metal and inserted into a wooden gate at the old place. Never got around to it though. It's vectored though so I could cut it in vinyl easy peasy.

That may be cool for the east facing one (instead of a house view) I'll let you know Dr Matt. Thanks!
