I mean, the room is enclosed, tiled, has the refrigerator and the laundry stuff in place; but we haven't ordered the cabinets yet. Today, we meet with the cabinet people at one of the box stores. It's a climate controlled space with a dog door to the outside. It works and I never realized how nice it would be to be able to go through a
huge set of double doors. The blinds make the room very...dim, but they keep the space very cool. I'm glad I did it.
As far as the patio, I'm looking forward to having it done. I like the idea of being semi-outside but able to retreat under cover without having to be inside. I'm glad I made these changes. I kinda wish I'd done them soon so I'd have more time with them.
