The glass arrived at noon, but the truck was so long and my driveway so steep, the truck could not back up into the drive. All the crates were off-loaded onto the street outside the house. Some of my contractor's crew just arrived with a fork lift and now everything is tucked in at the top of the driveway, out of harm's way. This is what the porch looked like a few months ago and what it looks like now. All that's really left to move out is my storage/packaging bench and it will be moved out tomorrow when they are supposed to begin deconstructing the porch.
All that will be left of the porch are three brick walls. The double windows adjacent to the bench will be replaced with French doors so that there will be French doors on both ends of the sunroom. The tile will be covered with concrete to bring that flooring up to the level of the house flooring and that concrete overlay will be extended out 8' onto the concrete patio. We will then extend that remaining concrete patio out 8' to give us back the same size patio. The vinyl ceiling will be replaced with beaded board, the two columns will be removed, two of the three ceiling fans will be moved about 3' and we'll have a chandelier replace that third fan but will be moved 3' towards the new Florian glass structure. This space will have a new AC/heat unit so the sunroom will be climate-controlled. I will move my existing storage/packaging bench back in and it'll go against the same brick wall. I'll have a new 6-8' potting bench with sealing concrete counter, an oversized sink, and instant heated water in that cabinet (my plants and hands don't want cold winter water!). The sink will drain out into an underground gravel area. There will be a 32' long floor trench that will drain any water out onto the lawn. Our 10'x32' screened in porch will become an 18'x32' sunroom.
