I just showed DH & he is not crazy how it changes the look of the house,so we will be doing a mini reno(less $$$$) so I guess that is good.Thanks again DBD I always wondered how a nice big veranda would look & now I know:)
Thank-you so much DBD....I do like the look & I also agree with making it look
like it has always been there .I will get an estimate then go from there.:)

I can tell you that my parents had a typical 60's bungalow and decided to add a veranda. i thought they were nuts but it looked great and like it had always been there once it was done. I truly believe the secret is making sure there is a roof over it and a solid looking foundation around it so it just isn't hanging out there. Otherwise it ends up looking like a balcony/deck.
