It's time to get ready for winter. My carpenter did these shutters give more protection for the ODK and I still have to stain them but that won't take long. On the other side is Sunbrella shades. They are the same as the ones on the wall behind the grills.
In the summer all these shades come down and opens the ODK to the great outdoors. The wall to the right of MY chair comes down from ceiling to floor exposing a white hand rail and the great outdoors.
There are also Sunbrella shades that go right across the front of the counter and grills to keep the snow out. Believe me there will be snow.
See what I mean, this was from last Feb. just one of 5or 6 blizzards we had.
When it is warm enough this is my favourite place to sit and watch the wildlife, squirrels, chipmunks and the birds. I have a Bluetooth speaker so that I can listen to my favourite radio station.
When it's too cold to sit in the outdoor kitchen then it's a short hop skip and jump to the sunroom. It's good for all winter too because there is a wood stove in the corner.
