I so want to know how much it would cost to frame around the foundation, but I'm laid off *sniff* and I have to be very careful with money. Still, it couldn't hurt to get a quote, could it? :DPop and Icehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09293232401852452071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-91798656382685590672009-04-27T12:30:00.000-04:002009-04-27T12:30:00.000-04:00Awwww, gorgeous!!

I've got a ...I've got something similar in my home. I've got a concrete balcony/patio behind my kitchen. Beneath, the walkout basement that walks into an enclosed area. Underneath the balcony, I enclosed the space with sliding doors with screens and shades. The floor of this new room is just interlocking stone. No proper floor was placed down. Off to one side on the exterior is the concrete stairs leading up from the backyard to the balcony/patio behind the kitchen. Underneath the stairs, I dug down about five/six feet. I finished the base and sides of the hole with a waterproof-membrane and tiles. Filled the hole with water then added fish. I know have a sort-of indoor koi pond. It's really cool, but the heat in there, also because I have to heat the water a bit to prevent from freezing in the winter (The Canada, brrr), it really, really stinks. I then enclosed the hole with a large window so that I can keep the air from circulating out of the pond space into the rest of the enclosed patio area. It helps a bit. But it still smells like fish.<br /><br />I can't keep plants in there as it just doesn't get enough sunlight so I filled the room with fake plants that look really close to real. I think it came out really well considering the ceiling leaks a bit (concrete guy was an absolute idiot). I've even got an LCD TV hanging from the ceiling so I can watch the game in there.<br /><br />But I've also got a cat, a cat that loves to climb up the screen doors. She's gone so far as to rip a hole through one of them.wigsfhttp://whatigotsofar.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-50771708423680882872009-04-27T09:28:00.000-04:002009-04-27T09:28:00.000-04:00Looks great, I'm on my way over...Looks great, I'm on my way over...The Dental Mavenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04138994376843845343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1232409199559817703.post-89514527118036186582009-04-27T09:25:00.000-04:002009-04-27T09:25:00.000-04:00Yes, a very nice porch ... you are very fortunate....Yes, a very nice porch ... you are very fortunate.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.com
