Complete overhaul of mid room/windowed porch
We moved into our house a number of years ago and this room drives us crazy. We currently use it for shoes and storage because it's pretty ugly in there, but I'm think about the possibilities of furniture in there to enjoy a shaded area with the windows open in the nicer weather.
Concerns:
The windows are single pane with seemingly no waterproofing. Water definitely gets inside when it's raining a little bit.
The thin wood around the windowsill is definitely dry rotted as you can see in the photo likely because of poor waterproofing
The wood floor is the same hardwood floor as the rest of the house and I don't believe it's made to handle the lack of weatherproofing this room endures
Question:
How would you guys handle improving this space? I think replacing the windows and the interior frames is the most importantly step. I'd also like to replace the wall with something nicer to look at. Potentially sheet rock if I feel I can clean get the weatherproofing to an acceptable place.
Should I consider replacing the floor with something better suited for a semi-exterior room?
Any thought and recommendations are appreciated
