I have a covered porch that I would like to convert to a dining room. It has large openings (8'10" x 4'7" and 9'5"x4'7") that will make awesome windows. They will sit on painted concrete blocks that rise about 3 to 3 1/2 feet off the floor. How much trouble will this be? Are there any suggestions? Large windows, several smaller ones?? What about windows with enclosed blinds?

Thanks
