Early morning and late afternoon are good times to come out here but tonight is the first time for me. The room is comfortable and the humidity seems low... so, it is an ideal space to remove one's self from the noise that one does not want to hear inside.
My wife purchased a recliner just for the sunroom and it is that recliner in which I am sitting now.
Sometime this week, our portable heating/AC unit will arrive, and we will see just how that unit might work for us. Because of the windows and the potential of no insulation, this room will NEVER HOLD its cooling or heating. However, if the unit keeps it comfortable to use, then it saves us $20,000+ in renovation expenses.
If I am coming out here in the early evening after the sun goes down, then I will want more illumination... during the day there is plenty of light.
When we purchased this house, its condition was that we did not really have to do anything... however, we wanted different floors in the house and bathrooms. We wanted different toilets in both bathrooms.
Additionally, we sold our living room furniture and our kitchen appliance, so we had to replace all of those as well. About $30,000 is what we have estimated. Fortunately, we made $32,000 profit when we sold our house to a northerner from Chicago.
This house gives us exactly what we want and we were damn lucky to find it one street over from where we were living at the time. For us, it is an IDEAL RETIREMENT HOME.
