Congrats to @Quasimodo for another hilarious title which refers to the Trackers nanny wanted listing. Someone else can do a more extensive recap please!
You should have waited to unfriend her until after you dug up some dirt!! LOLUhhhh in a bizarre turn of events that I attempted to unravel, it appears I was Facebook friends with Marie? I cannot for the life of me place how I would know her, and we had no mutual friends in common. I unfriended her for those reasons
It doesn't block the sun outright (as in wholly darken the area above the pool), but it does help to reduce the heat within the enclosure via the filtered sunlight, reduce the harm of UV rays (I think I read somewhere up to anywhere from 30 to 80%?) and also keep the pool temp down. I don't think I've seen any pool birdcages ever that completely block the sun.Not a Floridian, but I thought the roof of the new cage was supposed to block the sun. It looks clear to me.
Watch Tim start going to the parks early after he gets Buddy ready for school and drops him off. To be back in time to sit in the pickup line. While Jenn sits at home on her ass “editing” with Nanny #463 watching Big Babe.
What an egregious waste of money! The only difference I see is the square space of screening above the kitchen area. It's darker because they have a special screening material that does *somewhat* reduce the sun you'll get and they can keep you dry during showers, but when it's pouring rain, that screen ain't doing a damn thing to keep you dry. Burning money for literally nothing.Recap photos:

It's never glass in a residential area (ok, maybe rarely but that's really not the norm and would probably be a multimillion-dollar home).So what is the cage made of? The realtor pictures look like glass but the renovation pics look like a mesh like on screen doors.
The brown part is aluminum. Most cages are either brown or white, although you see the white less and less because it gets moldy/gross quickly. The rest is screen panels, like you'd see in a window. There are finer screens available where you can barely even tell that there is a screen there.So what is the cage made of?

Yes. Even more so without a vent hood. The ceiling is going to get all full of soot and grease. And no one is going to clean it. Ever. We have a half wall of granite behind our similar grill and it gets nasty, but I'm capable of cleaning it.Looking at the part that is circled, wouldn't the grill cause massive marks on the ceiling from the heat and smoke? They should have put in some form of an exhaust fan to suck it all out. A regular fan, like what he purchased, will still cause the heat and smoke to hit the ceiling. Add this with what everyone else has said, the grill should not be that close to the house. I think they should have made this outdoor kitchen area into an "L" shape, which would provide more room and they could have put the grill away from the house. I don't see this ending well.

You can't really sit outside the cage though, especially around dusk or after dark. You'd get eaten alive. Not the Trackers case, but we have water in our yard and I wouldn't sit out there after dark because I'd want a clear view of the gator coming out to eat me.I think it looked better before. It looks completely off to me now and a horrible design. If it were my house, I would’ve kept the pool area as is and then added an area outside of the enclosure for kitchen/grill/firepit. I’ve never in my life seen an enclosed grill and firepit. Maybe it’s a Florida thing. But here in the Midwest, this isn’t a thing. We put pergolas over outdoor kitchen/entertainment areas to provide shade. And fire pits are not covered by any shade-reducing structures.

One hailstorm or hurricane... or even a bad storm blowing a big branch into it and you'd be up tit's creek.
It's mesh screening (and / or fiberglass screen mesh... which is not glass even though that's the name) and it's held in place by metal beams.
Their original birdcage was mesh too.
Thank you bothThe brown part is aluminum. Most cages are either brown or white, although you see the white less and less because it gets moldy/gross quickly.
