Subject: Well, my porch is essentially finished
Written By: ChuckyG on 10/24/07 at 10:36 pm
I still need to stain the door that opens into the house, and there's a few missing trim pieces under the windows, and I need to trim switch plate covers, but basically it's finished.
Here is an inside shot before it was torn down:

Here it is completed:

Very nice there, Chuck. O0 I'm kinda suprised you didn't post this in the Photos section, though, since you have a gallery of pictures displayed. I like the before-and-after effect...kinda like something I see on an HGTV show. :)

Not bad. Don't see a fully enclose porch like than too often. Well not here anyway... guess it's a climate thing.

you know, it's so rare I check that board I forgot we even had it... I'll have to move my own post!

Originally I was going to do an entirely screened in porch, but in New England there's clearly less ability to derive usage out of it from November to April. Plus, we plan on doing an addition on the back of the house to enlarge the kitchen and back bedroom, and needed a place where we could store everything for several months. It's a very small house by todays standards (even by the standards of the neighborhood I'm in), so the loss of even one room (let alone two) can't be compensated by moving everything into another room. There really isn't another room to move things into.

I mostly just paid someone for the work... I didn't actually build it. I did some of the electrical wiring (my friend Dave did the rest), most of the painting, and the stain/polyurethane on the trim and walls.
