Covered patio or not
7 years ago
Hello! We already have a contractor to put up a covered patio off the back of house. This side faces west and would cover these three windows and transoms. In 2nd photo you can see we still have dining room windows and transoms open. I am concerned the living room will be too dark once covered. Any advice from someone that has done this or seen this done?
