Here Comes the Sunroom
2007-07-17 08:37:00 With the shed done (for now), it’s time to move on to the next project, which is the sun room.

2007-07-14 22:50:00 Finally finished…well, just about. The roof is still in disrepair and needs a complete tear-off but I think I’ll save that for this fall or next spring.

I’ll definitely be getting an ... More About: Expose , Beam , Pose
