This week he finished our new sunroom, new addition to this house. We have a mini split for that room so I’m curious to know how it will keep up in extreme weather.
The first picture is the room when he started on it. Our contractor did the rough work up to drywall. DH is doing all the finishing work throughout the house. The second picture is the finished room today.

WOW!!!!
it is a pretty room. We keep many plants in it. It is super handy that our east facing deck has a door to this room, so we just have to drag all plants out to the deck in the summertime. Not far at all.
I am worried about keeping these pretty floors dry, I don’t want a plant watering accident staining them.
That room is beautiful! What views!
I hear you about the floors. Can. you get a couple of those mats that have lips on them? May not be beautiful, but it might help mitigate wet floors.

Big mats with lips, good idea. I will keep that in mind. Also, I will have to keep moving the big plants and furniture around because this floor reacts to coverings and sunlight. We had a paint tarp on it for months, and I can see the line where the tarp was.
Well--Okay---looks like it might be completed, someday. Good Job. But, when are you going to show us the workshop? Is there also a lirrrarray full of Books, too? That's what I'm interested in. Also, I have for sale some authentic, pre-owned lirrrrabrarry light fixtures, that had been replaced during a redecorating at the locall lirarrarry, here. They would be perfect for your Chateau. Yup. Might I also suggest a 6'-high, wrought-iron fence, completely surrounding your lot, to deter trespassers? Hope that helps you some.

What a beautiful room, IL. Would love to see a picture when plants and furnishings are in place.
How about keeping the plants on dollies? The space between the bottom of the dolly and the floor prevents sharp lines from the sunlight and you could also move them around. The dollies might have waterproof bottoms.
Another project for DH?
Beautiful sunroom, IL!
