I don’t know if any of you have ever viewed the plans for a “Chuckbird” or “Texas Parasol” but I have recently done so. Quite simply I am amazed at the means of construction as well as the latitude of owner design modification aspects. Even more amazing is that Richard Lamb has released these plans to the public domain. I've also read that this was a Chuck Benson design and other's in San Antonio had built similar plans, hope someone here can enlighten me more.

I’m really going to do some thinking on this and look into the Yahoo Group for the “Texas Parasol” to see what they’ve been doing with the design. Lot of questions here I've since learned. Anyone else read about any of this?
