Taht is a nice space Sal, but looking at the pics seeing the guys with the wheelbarrows of concrete I just groaned. To much of that work is why i feel like I do today I hired a pumper. In looking at the top deck area I would think that a nice screened in porch would fit really well. In our MA house we had a nice deck, but you couldn’t use it evenings because of the bugs. In order to maximize the view from the elevated porch I set the sills at 18” and made mahogany grids up to the 36” height for safety purposes, but it allowed us to see the ground close to the house so it worked out well. The screened porch allowed us to actually be outside and it became the best room in the house.
