Glass porch

I wanted to post an update on our glass porch that we had added to our house three years ago. But looking back through my blogposts it turns out I never wrote about it in the first place. Ho-hum. So, a week after we had our sunscreens fitted the next company arrived on our doorstep.


An expensive week you could say. Sooo, they started with putting up the poles and attaching stuff to the house.


Look how it's totally different from the pergola thingy of the neighbors (which was one of the first things taken down by the new neighbors that moved in last year).


The glass beads are added (notice the workman -aware of the photographer- making fun of his colleague).


The (glass!) windows are put into place. I never knew that stuff was so bendable.


And of course, as soon as the glass was in place the rain started to fall.


So here is Lynn inspecting that day's work.


As the company's sunscreen option was a bit expensive we tried our own solutions. We had a mesh curtain made but the problem is that it's not easy to open and close once you attach it (and you want to when it's not sunny). So, cue three years later...

Rails are added to the beads.


More screws are screwed.


The screens are slided in the rails.


And there you have it! Easy open and close and no need to run when rain starts as it's hanging in a dry place.


We're totally ready for summer.
