No hammer? No problem!

I recently covered my patio with a tablecloth-sized piece of white linen.  In other words, I'm using a linen tablecloth as a summery shade over my roofless deck. I hammered the corners of the cloth on two of the beams that make up its frame.  It looks a bit tacky, maybe, but not overly so--my gardenia bush and myself are much less exposed now and can enjoy my nice deck without risking heat stroke and squamous cell carcinoma.

But, when I was putting it up and figuring out how to make it work, I noticed my rude, good-looking 30 something neighbor, "Alex" standing just outside my patio, on the other side of his fence.
