VERANDAH

When Doug bought this house he always intended to make the verandah into part of the lounge.  I don't know why the lounge wasn't just made larger when the house was built as the verandah is really a waste of space.  Anyway, we have just purchased the timber and other items needed for the build and Doug has started work (and is, in fact working on it as I type). 

This is the only "before" photo I can find.  The verandah is on the right hand side.



These are the photos of the work in progress.  Under the red plastic is the new flooring.


The little "ladder" in the following photo is for Kim the cat.  She will have a new cat door when the job is finished.




 Kim's run is alongside the house.



The sliding doors will go giving access to the new room.


Let's hope the storm due tomorrow is not too severe.

    You have a great mate, Susan. My Retired Man is not a fixer upper. Thankfully, I have a SIL who is. My daughter married well.

      Doug really seems to enjoy these jobs. Glad you have a SIL who is a handyman - it helps.

    Good for Doug. After the 'tower' and the barn, I've now retired from building.

      I think that will be enough. Just a small deck for Kim the cat by her new cat door. We have the large deck at the rear of the house.

    Homes here weren't really ever built with either a veranda/porch. The weather just didn't support such things. I do like the idea of a veranda, but doubt I'd be out on it much. A larger lounge sounds like a good idea!

      We think it will be a lot better - it had better be.
