Screened in Porch / 3 Season Porch / Sun Room Master Thread

[Cartierfor3]

Like a year after we bought our house I descreened our screened in porch. Now we use it like all the time.

[pissclams]

it really sounds like descreening your porch was a great decision

one of my best. I like home projects where you get to destroy something.

screenless porches are better than screened in porches

Already have a deck for that. Dugout is closer to the truth, it's going to have a fan and cable.

I have a glassed in sun room on the main floor of our walkout. The deck sits up high and overlooks the neighborhood. It is the fantastic. Was built by the previous owners. It faces W/NW, so every AM I find myself there sipping java and streaming music. In the summer it can get hot as F and in the winter it can be cold as F.

But even on winter days as the sun comes over the top, I can open it up and bring some light and sunlit warmth to to the kitchen/dining area. We are currently budgeting to expand the deck and add an open pavestone patio with built in grill and smoker underneath the sunroom.I truly love this area of the house.

I'll post some pics if folks are interested.

Indoor pool that you swim under the wall and is then an outdoor pool

i would turn that room into a frozen mixed drink emporium.  bring the blender out there and set it on a table.  then host small get togethers with you and a girlfriend and make frozen mixed drinks out there.  pro tip- for your first mixed drink get together, make the mixed drink be margaritas.  from there just branch out into other frozen drinks.  thank me later by having me over for a get together with some ladies.

It doesn't get that cold in TX lol.  Also I don't think I told you congrats! Hopefully you can come back for some games this fall and we can party it up like old times.  Also maybe if I come down for the Baylor game. 

edit: talked to the person i thought this was in TX a couple weeks ago, this is not his account

Since these pics the window by the TV has been painted to match ceiling. Still need to put a nice glass door where the brown one is and get new furniture.

That room needs a hot tub ASAP

I like to sit in my screened-in porch and sip sweet tea while working on a crossword puzzle and talking about how the lawn needs mowed.

Wow great post by me.
