My wife and I put the finishing touches on an ugly contraption we made out of PVC tubing.  The intent was to devise something that we could slide up the post of the street lamp outside our house and, using dark fabric, block the light from the street lamp — at least from being directed at our house and yard.  After a lot of primer and cement glue, I think this thing might work.  We need to add the fabric for a real test run and I’ll try to add a picture at some point because this thing looks ridiculous.  It may have been cheaper to buy another house in a darker part of the state.
