July 22nd, Framing the back porch

I was out of town when the back porch was getting framed in, so I'm catching up on posting pictures.

It will be totally screened, so the builder wanted to come up with a good way to do that, using 4 foot removable type screens. Here is his first idea with basically a header at the top of the wall and a footer at the bottom. Luckily Denis was here and nixed that idea as soon as he saw it. That would have cut off too much light and the view out of the porch.


Here is the AFTER picture, with the top header removed. The footer is there to keep dogs, or other critters from tearing into the screens too easily. It may still happen but not at ground level.


This is a view into the porch area, from where the walkway to the gazebo.
