Again with the routes -oops, not

Beloved spouse informed me this morning that he had set up a meeting with a representative from a company that makes customized sunrooms. I toyed with the idea of going to set, but decided I would stick around to hear what this person had to say. We are up against a decision regarding the deck off our bedroom: Either get a new waterproof coating and decking for it, or enclose it and make it into usable space. The deck, facing due south, has had limited usability over the past twenty some years. It's too hot in the summer, and too cold in the winter, so it makes sense to figure out a way to improve it. We really haven't done anything to the house over the past couple of decades, other than some painting and a new layer of roof shingles,
and this will give us more room for more books, too. We're going to go look at a similar project they're finishing which is fairly close to us, and their documentary photos look good. The woman who came here today, a brisk, take no prisoners soul, certainly knew her beans. She did, however, chill me when she remarked that she had run three construction companies over the past thirty years, and said,"And I'll be glad never to see another employee ever again!" Not your warm fuzzy type...
