Yup, drapes are a must for critical viewing during the day. Again, I'm really not sure what my eventual usage pattern will be. Who knows, maybe I'll love Sunday afternoon PGA golf on a 100+" screen.

I already have horizontal blinds on the balcony door that block a good 80% of the light. The plan is to put up a block-out curtain behind it. The one side of the curtain is almost always down, so it will hide the curtain nicely when its pulled back.

I have a daughter who owns a sewing machine who also happens to rely on me for a good portion of her tuition. Being a parent has its advantages. grin

So, the purge has begun. I've thrown out all the aquarium lighting and a bunch of associated junk. If I chip away at this an hour per night, It will be done in no time.
