I agree, Lindsey. It will be one of the first options if the need arises.

Jim, it looks beautiful! Won't be long before the orchids will be in their new retreat!

The custom windows have arrived and most have been installed. It took three weeks for them to be made. We are still awaiting the ceiling panels. The doors have also been installed.

Jim

Beautiful and love the view. How will ventilation work? Will you use a shade cloth in summer?

In the first photo, up near the peak of the roof, there is a large exhaust fan. It is covered with a garbage bag at the moment to keep the rain out. All of the windows slide open and there is mostly shade near the house. When the roof panels go in, they will block 20 percent of the light. Apart from all of that, I have to play it by ear.

Jim

Very cool, Jim!!!!!!!!

If you look at the last photo, you can see the black window latches on each side of the window. Press on the latch and you can slide the half window sideways revealing the screen.

Jim

Great windows!

Oh, Jim, it is so wonderful! How gorgeous!

Thank you, Janice. Depending on the arrival of the roof pannels, I think I am looking at another two weeks of construction.

Jim

Looking great, Jim! Can't wait to see it completed, with all your 'chids inside!

Jim, it looks outstanding.
And when can I move in?

As long as it's finished before the first frost..of course, now you won't ever have another frost!

So true!!

Wow, what an undertaking! It is amazing!

Well, the polycarbonate roof panels have not arrived yet but I am sick of parking my truck outside while patio furniture occupies the garage and besides, our church choir is having their end-of-season party at my place and I need seating space so I moved it into place today.

Jim

So nice Jim! You are going to really enjoy this...once it's finished of course!

Just fabulous and I'm wishing I could dip in the pool for an evening swim! You are so going to love this space!

I whole-heartedly agree! What a nice spot!

Makes me want to join your choir!
