Very cool. I have a small alcove porch that I want to do something similar, but I'd like to have it be glassed and screened in. It's great to see your process.
What a great question, and one we've gotten many times. Unfortunately, we sold this home soon after filming the screened porch, so we don't have footage of installing the actual screens. For info regarding why we removed the siding, please see the video after this one, regarding the Walls and Interior Design. It goes through how we used fire to water-seal the wood siding, which is an all natural way of proofing the wood for outdoor use (without using stains or paints).
No permit? No flashing? No pressure treated wood on concrete? No sill plate gasket? Splitting the sill plate? That pad is probably going to move. This was done 3 years ago - what does it look like now?
So many haters in comments. This was a big savings and I was here for framing. I have vinyl siding and didn’t know what to do with the vinyl for frame. Looks like u didn’t need to remove much vinyl on one side.
The next video we uploaded related to this was regarding finishing the walls and interior of the screened porch. Unfortunately, we sold that home very soon after filming, and were unable to get anymore footage. We plan to begin uploading videos again soon. Thanks for watching!
We were unable to. We sold this home very soon after filming this video and were unable to get any "after videos" or videos of the actual screening process. As we remodel the home we are NOW in, we plan to upload videos and incorporate information about how we are doing so. Thanks for watching!
@@dropndeal the reason I was asking was because of the slabs that have post tension concrete. I had heard when you drill into those that you can really mess up the integrity of the slab. We're buying a new house with a covered patio that would make a great screen porch but it does have post tension.
Great question. I'm honestly unsure. I would ask the home builder or the individual that poured the concrete if you have any concerns prior to begininning this project. Thanks for watching!
Yes - but hiring professionals kinda goes against the "self sufficiency" lifestyle that we are aiming to live. However, we do realize that sometimes hiring a professional is preferred and understand if others choose to do so!
