Front Of House |
This is the West-facing side of the house. To the right is South, to the left is North. The squarish window with 4 panes opens from the dining room. I think that would be a good place for a sun room. Replace that window with a patio door or french door. The sunroom could be about 100 to 150 square feet. Big enough for plants all around, for starting tomatoes and peppers, okra, figs.... flowers... and overwintering cacti and orchids. Maybe even overwinter a large chili pepper plant. There might be room for the Meyer Lemon - currently bearing - and kumquat. Wow - I just filled up the sunroom, and it's not even designed yet.
I was thinking greenhouse, but sunroom might contribute to solar heating in winter. Or might not be efficient, but would be more protected than a greenhouse, and I could sit in the sunroom and ponder, putter, and stew.
There's a home remodeling show in portland in 2 weeks. It would take my mind off the impending scan....
