Big Rambler, large covered porch and why wouldn’t you add the covered porch?

I often wonder why folks don’t upgrade to a large covered porch when ordering a home. Having the space on the lot makes it easy. Adding the covered area in essence increases your living space. Add a fan, TV jack, lights, and you’ll enjoy the space often year round. Here is a house we finished in the Spokane area some time back and a few other covered porch ideas.
