New Project


Something that we have talked about for years is closing in our back porch. It already was closed on three sides as you can see on this old picture. The new windows arrived today and were picked up and brought home, installed by DH and two of our sons.  Having the windows will make it possible to use this area earlier in Spring and also later come Fall.


While they were doing the actual installation it looked like such a mess out there!

 I was SO afraid they would drop those heavy windows!



The windows are safely in and all that remains to be done is to put on the shingles both outside and inside.Hopefully in a week or so I can post a pic of the finished project.

Thanks for visiting,

    That will be great. I have been thinking how nice it would be to have a screened in porch so we can sit out and not be dive bombed by mosquitoes.

    Your enclosed porch will be so inviting with the sun pouring into those large windows. (Do they face east?) Glad to hear no one got hurt putting those windows in (and that they didn't get dropped)! Is the domed window on the corner your buttery?

    Those big windows face South !!! I may have to get some blinds. That window lines up with the porch swing and I can see out over the back yard. Once all the work is done I'll take lots of pictures.

    Oh that will be nice! Facing south there will be great light, and I see you have a big skylight in it already. And the windows open wide too. Will be awesome on a sunny day in the winter! I see what those shingles are for now ;-)

    Oh how fun! That will bring you so much joy...maybe more room for flowers indoors? I'd love to have a sunroom and fill it with indoor plants and flowers but I don't see that happening now. I know you will enjoy having it completely closed in now.
