I cannot sleep, so I will share a bunch of remodeling pictures with you.

I know I have posted at least some of these before.

Backstory: I live in an older home that used to have an "open", or "un-enclosed" porch. In 1986, I enclosed it in order to make a a semi-livable space, but I did not do a very good job back then. I used cheap storm windows, cheap T11 siding, etc.

A few years ago, I decided to do it right in oak. Here are some work-in progress pics.

Demolition of horribly conceived ceiling portion of extended roof. I had to do a large amount of scraping and shimming of the rough frame to try to bring everything square and level.



Another shot of the ceiling area. Note that storm windows were simply trimmed with 2X lumber and painted.


Here's where I began to re-frame the extended section and drop the electrical to a horizontal plane.
