Take a Home Vacation in Your Sunroom
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alana_Tanner]Alana Tanner
With the rising cost of gas more and more people are taking vacations closer to home and several are stuck at home completely either camping in their yard or doing absolutely nothing. Admittedly it's hard to imagine not being able to just jump in the car and go anywhere we want, and the thought of being stuck at home is painful for many. However, there is something you can do about it. Make your home an inviting location that you'd be happy to stay in. Or trade homes with someone for a weekend and see what life is like for someone else.
If you choose to make your home more inviting to yourself and others, please consider re-opening your sunroom and using it to its full advantage. If you don't have one you can build one. While this does cost money it's also likely to improve the value of your home. If you can do most of the work yourself you'll actually come out ahead.
Regardless of the weather outside you can enjoy it from the comfort of your climate controlled sunroom. A sunroom generally has an over abundance of windows allowing for the maximum amount of light to come in and affording you the beautiful views of the scenery around you. If your scenery isn't beautiful, spend some time making it that way. The windows in a sunroom should be of the maximum energy efficiency for both summer sun heat and fridged cold winters. The extra light is a boost for those who suffer from depression when it's too dark outside. A sunroom is usually a light and cheery place, an escape perfected with a good book and a glass of tea.
If your property has a great view and you can't see it then you're doing yourself a real dis-service and could greatly improve your property value with a sunroom or deck. How should you start?
You can either get a sunroom kit from the internet or a large retail home improvement store, or you can speak with a local contractor and have a room specially designed and built for your needs. Obviously the second option is the more expensive, but also the most customized and guaranteed to match your homes interior and exterior decor. There are a lot of factors to consider when building an entire room from scratch, such as building permits, flooring foundations and more. At least speak with a professional if you have very little construction experience.
