Not happy.  Not happy at all.  After being away in Boston for the past twelve days, we returned to Connecticut this afternoon, expecting to find a completed deck.  Instead, what we came home to was a deck that looks no different than it did the day we left, and this hideous jury-rigged contraption created to provide shade for the builders ... although why I don't know, considering the lack of progress.  This black plastic awning is suspended from a bizarre series of ropes and cables that are tied to various trees and blocks of wood that have been pounded into the lawn.  Heads are going to roll tomorrow!

PS:  I've added an extra picture showing my passive-aggressive response to this travesty ....
