Met with my architect, he came up with a few ideas, since I'll be fabricating all the windows and doors Fl requires an engineered drawing of the components.

Not a big deal just needs to be done by code.

I was originally going to use cypress for the window frames but learned western red cedar will work much better.

I sourced out the wood, I also sourced out the correct Low-E glass 366 and some windows in 340.

Found a insulation contractor (one DIY I will not do), he can blow in R-30 in the ceiling for $200, that's a good price.

The vinyl siding that will be now in the enclosed area will be replaced with the red cedar.

Although it's called red its not, it's a light brown/tan color.

The TV cable and elec outlet will be moved up high for a wall or ceiling mounted TV.

When I built my home theatre I already installed several ceiling speakers, so that's done.

The plans will take about two weeks.
