Our new house also has a back porch, which is larger, but frankly it is ugly. You enter it from the family room, and as you exit the house, you feel as though you are going to hit your head on the ceiling of the porch. Once you step into the porch it feels larger, but it definitely does not help you feel at one with nature.
Here is the full view of the porch:
Part of the problem are the side windows (see below), which are small and difficult to see through. They make you feel trapped.
The beams are beautiful, but are covered in mold! Yuck!
The far end of the porch has a large expanse of window, but unfortunately, the screen doors don't open.
The door that does allow you to exit has a baby gate in it, as we think the previous owner's dog broke the screen.
This door leads to. . . not to our swing set, yard, and paver porch, but to a path?
That continues. . .
And continues. . .
Until you reach the part of the yard you wanted to be in. There you can see where our AC unit originally was located. It definitely helped fill in the gaps in conversation, as it was difficult to hear yourself think when it was running.
Here is our new AC unit.
And it's new home, on the side of our house.
We of course have many plans for our porch, such as moving the door to where the old AC unit is located, putting in new larger windows, putting down tile or painting the concrete floor, etc. These are of course at a later phase of home renovation as the inside and landscaping will come first.
