Brian and I went back and forth on what to do with our back porch. It’s just really not big enough, and it always stayed cluttered. At first, we thought about turning it into a sunroom and making it a part of the inside of the house. However, I couldn’t really decide what we’d use the space for…our house is big enough, and we don’t really need any more indoor space. So, we finally decided we’d just screen it in.
We hired my older brother, David, to get the job done. It took him several weeks, but it was all worth it. We really enjoy the porch so much more now. It’s surprisingly a tad bit cooler, and the sun doesn’t shine in the house nearly as bad as it did prior. So, the investment was money well spent. Our next project is to put gutters on the back of the house and build a concrete patio. I’ll post on that once that’s done (no start date yet…still just a thought).
Here are some pictures of the screening in of the porch along the way.
