I have been pushing my spouse to add a deck onto our house! Right now both of us have a side door that has a small little pad in addition to stairs… Basically you have enough room to rest in addition to look out at the woods, then other than that, the side door is pointless… I want the stairs to lead to a much bigger pad in addition to be a deck. I have patio furniture that could kneel on it in addition to I would enjoy the grill there as well. It would additionally be nice to keep my garbage cans in addition to recycling bins in there. Right now they just kneel in my yard looking horrible. I truly would enjoy to enclose the deck though. I want to have a room so the rain wouldn’t affect myself and others when I kneel out there; Having it screened would be truly nice. I could keep bugs out in addition to get a breeze. If I am being honest, I truly want to have it totally enclosed with windows. I then would want a ductless mini chop unit. I could have it be a separate cooking section or an enclosed gym if I wanted to. Hot southern summers or cold winters wouldn’t affect our deck time. Having heating in addition to cooling in that space would add value to the house. It does add quite a bit more money onto the project though, so I don’t know if I can convince my spouse that adding walls, windows in addition to a Heating, Ventilation, in addition to A/C component are the smart move. I might just get a wood deck in addition to that is it. I could be thrilled with that.
