Looks very nice - cheerful.
Projects like that are so much easier to accomplish after retirement - meetings, last minute glitches, oversight, errands to run.
Enjoy the sun.
Looks like the cats might also enjoy the new sunroom based on the condo in the corner. It looks nice!
Looks nice but one thing that looks odd is the roof looks flat. I wouldn't think that is a good thing for water runoff. Any opinions on that being a problem? P
Dawg,
Although the roof may look flat from the exterior shots, it appears to have a slight pitch if you look at the upper left photo of the interior.
Above the window shade (on the far side) immediately beneath the ceiling, you can see a long thin triangular shape of 'wall' which would indicate that the roof has a pitch to it.

Dawg, I don't see the roof pitch as a problem but look very closely at how well it is insulated.
It's not possible to determine the quality of construction materials used in the sunroom in your photo but it looks a lot like the sunroom we had in a house we once bought in FL. It was beautiful and great in cool weather but the windows weren't double pane and the roof was so thin and poorly insulated it was more like a sun oven than a sun room. Had a decent sized separate thru-the-wall AC unit but it couldn't keep up with the summer heat - the room was unusable on sunny summer afternoons.
Oh, and rain on the roof was so loud you couldn't hear yourself think...
Maybe, maybe not. We never used the room or the AC in it during the summer so our electric bill didn't reflect the problem.If I got serious, I would ask to see the utility bills. That would tell a lot.
