Summer of Construction - July 27, 2007

The solarium is finally done! Here are a few photos I took so you can see what I see. I still have a bit of work to do under the deck and also get the flower gardens back in shape in the back yard. Now the inside construction can begin. Will keep you posted on that progress - much painting involved I think.

I took this from my neighbor Cindy's place - I was dog-sitting for her that weekend.

Here is a view from my backyard. I think I may move my little wooden chair inside the solarium after I give it a new coat of paint and get some cushions for it.

Another view, can see the windows a little better under the deck.

This is what it looks like from inside my dining room. I still have to get some new window treatments for this door - something that won't cover up the doggie door for Sam and Rowdy.

Here is a view from inside the solarium - Sam and Rowdy are on their way down the steps. Rowdy's favorite perch is still at the top of the steps, but Sam likes to sit outside on the grass.

This is the view looking to the left. As you can see, I have quite a bit of shade from the trees, so it doesn't get too warm inside. I can also remove 4 window panels to provide some ventilation if needed. So far I am really enjoying the improvements.
