Excited to work on the one part of the house that is made of wood - my office - Mark lept (leeped?) to the opportunity to thicken the walls to hold a real door. Note earlier entry about aligators coming through the door.
He's torn out old drywall to discover the aluminum supported walls from the original screened porch, insulated with styrofoam. Industrious Mark has used 2x4s (which are no longer 2"x4" in case you didnt know) on the inside walls to add depth. He has replace 4 of the 5 windows with smaller, 140 mph wind resistant windows (we will fear no stinkin' winds!) and a real exterior door (aligator proof). He boarded up one window as this was was too many for the space. The back door now sits 6" up from the ground unlike the aligator door that was level with the dirt so those critters could just wander in...along with snakes...and zebras.
Insulation is coming along, and...before you know it...drywall!
