    Not a deck! Make a screened in porch! Can be used as a sleeping porch. Unheated, uncooled, no windows to clean, just screens. Of course, maybe you dont have bugs up there and if so, I guess an unscreened deck would serve the same purpose on nights it does not rain.

    That sounds awesome! I would do a screened in porch with windows. Then even when it is cold if it is a sunny day it will heat up.

    IL and TT, Screened-in sleeping porch is a great idea.

    In the latest news, the inspection report came back fine, but we did ask them for some minor electrical repairs, fix a broken window spring, and clean out some debris in the crawlspace.

    They came back and took $1000 off the purchase price! I thought at the MOST they'd offer us $500. I feel guilty for taking it!

    they are bleeding money in this property, by being reasonable buyers you are stopping their bleeding.

    I think they have bugs and they are big as well as the black flies. As my husband and brother-in-law once stated while standing where their forefathers lived, "oh, so this is why they left!"
    A screened porch is an excellent idea.

    I've thought that about the North Dakota branch of my family.
