Well, take me out of the housing market....We signed a contract today to knock down a perfectly good 12' section of block wall and louvered windows and rebuild with impact resistant pocket sliders. This is our first step toward making this the house we wanted. After the sliders will come the pool and cage. I plan on taking photos as we go to share this project.

Now that the contract and commencement order are signed and the deposit is complete, the doors will be ordered. An engineer will have to sign off on the drawings, as we need a new concrete tie beam poured to support the roof. One the plans are stamped our GC will file for permits. Once issued, construction should take about 3-4 weeks.

Wish us luck!

Good luck indeed! Looking forward to you pics of the ongoing addition. Pocket sliders are the bees knees. How they open up a room! You will be so happy, when it is all done!

Sound very similar to what we did MA. We knocked out 22ft of knee-high block and 1970 large windows and I put in two sets of 11ft custom sliders. The we did the pool 2 months later. Been loving it for 4 years now!
