Porch To Sunroom DIY Build Start to Finish Demonstration

MrKistel

I show the entire process of how I built a new addition space from my existing covered porch area.

This was an ambitious DIY room building project I took on to create additional living space to use as a sunroom and playroom for our daughter. It took some time, and a bunch of effort, but the new room has become our favorite room in the house.
