A New Home Addition May Be Just What You Need

By Gordon T. Mayer

Things feeling cramped? It's as if your house shrank, closing in on the once comfy living quarters. There are plenty of options out there: buy need, build, remodel . . . but do any of them fit within your current reality? For most of us, the answer is a resounding "no". So what options do you have? The 3 season porch.

With the market as it is, it is important to stay within ones means while adding additional space and a 3 season porch is the perfect way to do that. Not only are they fiscally responsible, they add the potential for gradual conversion: year one 3 season porch, year five sunroom.

Why else build a 3 season porch?

* Expands your living space

* No need for insect repellant

* Increases value of home/property

When you begin the process of looking for a professional to help you, select the person that is willing to address the questions below:

* How will the new structure tie in with the existing structure?

* Your yard space is important. How can you build a porch without losing it?

* What would be necessary for future proofing (modifying the 3 season into a sunroom)?
