Shutters - New Years Project Complete

I finished the shutters last weekend. Don’t they look great? This should keep the sun and heat out in the summer and keep the neighbor’s searchlight that seems to go off at 2:45 in the morning from entering the windows. When they let their little fluffy, barking thing out to go potty, the light just glares into the room. I think it is a Halogen 2500 searchlight made for directing air traffic. It was a challenge to put the things up with just a ladder. I put the ladder in the window for stability, and walla, the shutters went up like you see it. They also have catches when I put them down in the summer for the wind that blows. Then they won’t blow away. What do you think?
