Imagine doing that on a cold snowy winter . Also like I mentioned in a post I wrote early this month , the 18 foot awning that we bought over four years ago had finally made its debut on the wall in our patio . All the while I thought we just wasted almost $ 2,000 for an awning that will never be used . I was so worried that it might not work anymore having been stalled in the basement for that long .

Generate a question about the above context.
What may be the reason for not taking the awning out ?
