Florida Room, post 1

My house is under construction. We are a zone of banging, hammering, sawing, tapping, and other various loud noises. I'm not a fan of the noise, but I am very excited about the eventual outcome. We are in the process of turning our back patio into a (drum roll please) Florida Room! I didn't actually realize Florida Room was the official name for an enclosed sunroom until we started talking to contractors, but the first thing that I thought when I learned this nugget of truth was, "Oooh, a good F word!" Yes, yes I AM that big of a nerd.

So, we're under construction. After two days of work, the guys have the frame up and treated and today they are beginning to install windows and maybe siding. Here's what we have so far.

It'll be fun to show progress on this as we go along. The new room will be airconditioned, carpeted, painted, and completely finished (hopefully) in about two weeks!

This is how Rosie passes her time while the guys are banging out in the back yard. She's at the FRONT door where she can keep an eye on everything while also staying away from the loud noises. (Pay no attention to the dirty baseboards or floor.)

And this is where Molly is spending her time. She's trying to camouflage herself behind a loaf of bread on the stove. I think she's trying to look like another teapot. She is really NOT a fan of these construction workers. :-)

Until the next installment of the Florida Room where we will showcase windows and siding.
