These walls needed to be stick framed in place one piece of lumber at a time. This strategy differs from an often more common approach where walls are built on the ground and raised into place. Standing framed walls was not an option here so I show my techniques on how I built these walls one piece of wood at a time. I simply needed to incorporate some design planning, a few tools (saw, drills, measuring tape, etc), and 2 X 6 Lumber.

@applepie9576 11 месяцев назад

We use screws for everything we build. They are more secure and eliminate having squeaky nails in flooring over time. The other thing is, if you need to take something apart, it's easy to do and the wood can be reused in most cases. I like the Torx screws.

When you make your plans, do you make the plans according to the windows you have, or do you make the windows fit the way you're going to frame it? Not sure if windows have standard sizes or are commonly custom made.

Yes to have a have a continuous mounting surface for the wall plywood sheathing. In hindsight it might have been easier to use a 2"X6" top plate and just block out the area above it.

@MrKistel 3 года назад

Thank you. In part the sponge pad placed under the boards that lay on the floor helps. In addition when the siding is installed it is done so in a way it hangs over the wood making sure water passes by. See the remaining videos in this room addition project video series to get a better idea of how it all comes together.

Thanks for sharing. The furnace system in your house was likely selected based on its ability to properly maintain the original house size. It may not be able to handle the additional space created from the new room addition. If that is the case it seems like adding a barrier like the doors you mention may be a good bet. Also the room can be better insulated if possible. Let us know how you proceed and thanks again.

What was the size of yur patio. How much you spend for all

@MrKistel 3 года назад

The new room was built within an approximately 10' by 12' covered porch area.

@LOTW1 2 года назад

Does anyone know how much this could cost? Of course, I only expect a rough estimate.

@MrKistel 2 года назад

A DIY new room addition project cost will vary greatly depending on the unique circumstance and expectations of each individual build. The best way to get a realistic idea is to roughly design the room, estimate the materials needed, and price those materials and any additional services that may be required.

Thank you for the flattering comment. I am sure there are many folks out that way that are more qualified then me. Best of luck with wall framing project.

Alot of people asked you how much it cost you to build this ? Can you give a price please ?

@MrKistel 3 года назад

Thanks for watching and your comment. I do not recall the cost for this particular room addition project. Regardless, every project is different and has its own set of variables. Things like geographic location, materials, existing conditions, and so much more factor into the overall cost. I would guess building a new room could cost could cost as little as a few to several thousand dollars. The cost range could be very widespread.

Anyone know why the screws were stainless steel in some parts? I'm guessing the other screws were regular screws?

@MrKistel 6 лет назад

Stainless was not absolutely necessary for this project however I did utilize them for some of the framing. The remaining screws were decking type screws.

I want to enclose my patio like this but my roof overhang goes about 4 inches into the patio where my wall would be (my patio has a slanted roof). Can I still enclose it? Do I just notch the 2x4s around the roof overhang?

@MrKistel 5 лет назад

Will, I am not sure I am clear of what you are asking. If you are referring to the beams that holds up your roof it would likely be easiest to build/frame the walls directly under the beams. That is what I did in this example. I used 2x6's instead of 2x4's so I had to notch the 2x6's to wrap around the beam which had a width of a 2x4.

Did you need to pull any permits for this?

@MrKistel 3 года назад

Permits were pulled for this project to convert the porch into a new room addition.

@Kiki-AndBeyond 2 года назад

How big was this porch?

@MrKistel 2 года назад

11'X12' ish

@ShayLaRae75 5 лет назад

I have a brick porch that I'd like to turn into a 4 seasons room. About how much would it cost to have someone do that for? I wish that I knew how to do this stuff, it'd be so much cheaper and even possible. I have a feeling, I'll never get my dream of closing in my porch. :(

@MrKistel 5 лет назад

Thanks for watching. It is hard to estimate what your cost would be if you had converted your porch into a room addition. I am sure if you reached out to some local contractors they would be willing to give you a ballpark price point or detailed estimate. Best of luck.

How to get the wood

@MrKistel 4 года назад

The lumber for the wall framing is readily available in this region at most construction supply stores.

Can this be done on an existing concrete slab on my patio?

@MrKistel 4 года назад

This room was built on top of an existing concrete floor after we poured additional concrete on top of it to make the new floor level with the living space floor. This is the video we made of that process that may help you determine if you are able to do something similar or not. Thanks ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zrcwuhsHCA8.html

What does something like this cost if you paid a contractor to do it

@MrKistel 4 года назад

It is hard to say the cost of a new room add on project as every project is unique and different contractors would have different approaches. Probably the best way to get a solid idea is too reach out to a few contractors and ask for an estimate for your intended home addition project.

@DeezNuts-uk7xz 3 года назад

Do you remember how much this cost you to do I’m looking to do a project similar to this I hope you see this

@MrKistel 3 года назад

The cost of a room addition could vary greatly depending on the unique variables and considerations of each project. I do not recall the cost for this particular room addition project but do not believe it would be helpful for someone planning a unique room addition project of their own. To get a better idea of what your project may involve you need to anticipate some of the project materials and expectations. It is easy enough to price out the materials once you have a materials list and that could be a good starting point for estimating the project cost. Best of luck with your room addition should you move forward.

@DeezNuts-uk7xz 3 года назад

@@MrKistel thanks so much for you reply I will try adding the price of all the materials together to get a estimate on how much it would cost

@boomerbutler7569 2 года назад

I have the same size back porch and would like to use your renderings. Do you have a google doc you could share with me via email because I want to use your exact plan if you don't mind. My only other question is, how did you get the rebar into the concrete if the slab is prexisting?

@MrKistel 2 года назад

Pease feel free to check out the other videos in this new room addition project for a reference (links in the video description area). No rebar was incorporated into the concrete. Best of luck with your project.
