Day 292: Sunroom Fix

That's not what you want to see!
So the major complaints from our insurer included the only wood support structures on the house - our back deck and the base supports for the sunporch walls/windows. The base was horribly rotted, but the entire walls are made up of jalousie windows that are all interlocked. We've spent months scratching our heads, researching, and getting expert opinions, only to come up with no solution for dismantling the sunporch while preserving these historic windows (which would require approval by the historic society). So finally, Shannon came up with a plan. He managed to remove the damaged wood and support the walls temporarily while he cut new pieces to size. The new supports are primed and ready to be installed. Now comes the hard part! Stay tuned...
