We have an 8 x 12 conservatory. It was built at the start of the conservatory fashion and so is only single glazed down to the floor. We used to use it a lot in the autumn and spring but it has fallen into disuse, mainly I think because the adjustable Venetian roof blinds became brittle, and were removed and we find the glare just too much now. So, it has become a dumping ground. Currently it houses random surplus furniture, two bikes the DGC have grown out of and their two new ones. ( Why I don’t know because these should be in DD’s garage). Several boxes of charity donations which we have not taken at the moment as conserving petrol and nearest is 10 miles away. You get the picture. I hate looking out from my dining room area onto this mess.
DH and I cannot agree on what to do with it.
He wants a proper garden room replacement. We have had the plans drawn but building costs are rising and it would use up a good chunk of our savings so I am not keen. Have asked builder for a costed Quixote after he gave rough estimate but he has not come back to us.
I would either like it demolished or try to clean it up and get replacement roof and side blinds to restore it to its previous level. DH feels this is a waste of money. Also I think it does keep the lounge diner warmer in winter.
What would you do? Anyone been in a similar position?
Thank you.
