Hi Cecil,
Thanks for your insight! I had been using the Black Hat technique, do you recommend otherwise? Most of the literature I have uses that approach. The colors against your recommendations are a bit confusing, so to clarify:
1. You're saying to omit the deck and three seasons room?
2. You're saying to omit the garage?
The 3 seasons room has plants and a hammock and is used but largely during Spring and Summer, it is also the primary pass through for when we take our dogs out and the way we typically access our yard. I agree that livable space is what should primarily be attended to, but every other source I can find says to include anything that is attached, including garages and decks... Thoughts?
I have attached what I believe you are suggesting.
Thanks again,
Sean
