The Sunroom That Almost Broke Me (And My Budget)
Three words: Four-season sunroom. Sounds dreamy, right? Until you realize Delaware's weather can't decide if it's coastal or continental, and your DIY addition has more drafts than a Victorian novel.
Enter Mejia Construction's services page, which schooled me on what a proper four-season space actually needs:
Proper insulation (not just "extra windows")
Thermal breaks (who knew?)
HVAC considerations for our weird shoulder seasons
New Castle-specific realities: ✔ Must withstand nor'easters ✔ Shouldn't become a solar oven in July ✔ Needs to blend with our neighborhood's aesthetic
Verdict: My Pinterest dreams met reality... and reality won. Now saving for a professionally-done version.
