Enclosed Porch

Here is a enclosed porch I have been working on before the Coronavirus outbreak. After framing the walls in this porch I flashed the roof and installed the windows.

This project used low-E vinyl new construction windows, included a garden window, which are low maintenance.

Ugh, it happened again. Another week or month has passed. You’ve wanted to add those finishing touches and wondered how you should go about it, but you’ve made no progress.

The decking on this farmers porch was originally installed with finish nails without the proper spacing between the deck boards. The railings were showing wear and the posts were beginning to rot.
