    The last bit of beam with the last post!
    11 windows and associated framing in.

    The original build was the right 14' of this pic. There was a reverse gable covering it and it was screened in. We've added 14' to the immediate left. It cost me a "bay" in/from the garage but it's a far better solution than what we've thought that we wanted to build. Not to mention saving a ton of money and time!

    Just those 11 windows were over $6600 and they're just decent Andersen 400 series! :headbang:
    That wasn't retail either. The 6 top windows are awning style. I had to keep them high and short to allow a decent pitch on the 30' wide porch roof under them. Having that daylight coming in to the house is fantastic. In the winter the sun rises directly in front of them and will shine (for a little while) all the way to the back wall!
    We're getting rain today after the 6th driest summer ever. :yes:
