Conservatory

The home that we bought about 10 years ago is itself about 50 years old. There were several things in such condition that we did not want to go into our retirement years and without getting them fixed. We needed to replace the garage doors on our double car garage, so we added steel doors that should last a lifetime. The concrete in our circle drive at the front of our house and had crumbled and was in very bad shape. It had to be dug up and completely redone. We also replaced the driveway into our garages. We put in replacement windows that will withstand 140 mom and our hurricane winds and also block more of the noise from outside. We replaced the countertops in the kitchen.

One completely new item that we added just for our own comfort sake was with the English call a conservatory. Our old English style house has a Southern exposure on the back and we put in a sun room that would allow us to enjoy the gardens and the sunshine in the morning as we took our coffee, a place where we might go to read and relax. We're very pleased with all the home improvements.
