Just wondering do you have wind chimes or do you hate them?

Do you have awning light or do you use the rope lights?

Do you have the screened rooms like the one that you put over you picnic table or do you have the Patio Room that goes on your awning?

Just wondering ...

No wind chimes... I love them, hubby hates them.

No awning lights, but will be getting a rope light this year.

No screened room... but will be getting one this year, not attached to the trailer... (bugs are bad here in the spring, so must have some way to get out of them!!)

1) Wind chimes....would rather not hear one. Their sound travels a long way.
2) Rope lights....Worse than tacky.
3) Screen room....Don't have one but I'm OK with them.

What's tacky about it? Someone had a question and asked it.

You didn't have to respond or even read it. Next time contribute something of substance or move on. :F -

We use rope lights to outline our campsite sometimes when small children are with us. Helps to keep them in their boundries. Guess what?! We also have awning lights! We play cards outside at night.
We do not have a screen room. Seems like too much trouble with kids and all. We have one of those pop up top/awning thingys that can go over the picnic table for shade and protection from rain.

I would say that we are moderatly tacky!

OH, no wind chimes. I think they would bother me and neighbors at night. That would get on my nerves.

We don't have, but I would not mind a small, quieter windchime. No windchime, especially a loud one, would be appealing at night.

We use awning lights that are sort of translucent balls, about 6" in diameter across the front of the awning. For those that like the Coke bottle, plastic RV's, dogs, or chinese lantern style, that's ok with me too.

Don't have a screened room or anything like it. Considered it for about 5 minutes one time then moved on.

I am assuming that "tacky" means that the person or item is percieved to be lacking in good breeding, lacking in style or in poor taste, or marked by cheap showiness or gaudiness.

As for what is tacky and what is not, it seems odd that any group such as RV'ers that ride around in oversized houses on wheels with full body paint and garish color graphics down the sides would have such a refined sense of taste so as to be offended at any of the above. :-)
