Bias the sunroom forward by about 3 feet from the corner of the house to allow for more patio space between the house &amp; back fence.&nbsp; The primary door to the patio would be off the corner of the sunroom, next to the house.<\/p>\n<p>I think we will want straight-grain fir floors (just like the old house), with a tongue &amp; groove wood ceiling following the pitched roof, and tongue &amp; groove walls (where there&#8217;s not window). We will want to strip the shingles off the portion of the house wall that winds up inside the sunroom since they&#8217;re quite worn. The street-facing windows may want to be higher, or at least have curtains, for privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Since we use the current deck frequently, we&#8217;ll want to replace it with a patio in the space behind the house &amp; sunroom.&nbsp; This is the most private area of the property, and with proper hardscape design I think it can be quite attractive and functional, without crowding the lawn area too much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We loved our 3-season porch at our old house: We tended to spend a lot of time out there during the warm months.&nbsp; We would like to re-create a space&#8230; <a class=\"read-more-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/2011\/09\/24\/sunroom\/\">Read more &gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.parkercat.org\/remodel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
