How do you clean your Screened in Porch?
Comments (14)I scrub my porch down with a little soap and water and even hit a few spots with bleach if needed. I wash my windows, walls, floor and furniture all the same day. I rinse with the hose and sweep the water off the floor with a broom. I do take my furniture off the porch to scrub and rinse. When everything is dry I put it all back together. I also change out my fall cushions to summer cushions and add fresh flowers. I only do this once a year and vacuum once a week or so. It is a big job but looks so fresh and clean when I finish. Note: I do have a tile floor and I know it is not supper good for the grout but hey, it's the only way I know to get it nice and clean. The pollen is pretty much stuck to everything once it is finished doing it's thing.

Comments (12)I think you the rug size you show in the mock up works - you could go larger but then there's that rain thing although if you get the blowing rain like we do, it will get wet regardless. I think a smaller rug for just the seating area is going to look skimpy. As for the throws..... Cheryl and I will not make this easy for you - I say 1 or 2 !! And I love water sounds - this is a small section of our creek although it's hard to hear from our porch until it turns into a rushing river with the storms we get!...See MoreHow would you add to the roofline of this home?
Comments (17)I'd extend the ridge of the original brown shingled roof to the right edge with the same slope on the back but put a forward facing gable over the right front with enough overhang to cover the bay window. I'd put the gutter drainpipes on the two corners of the addition -- not beside the bay window. I'd also try to find some matching stone and stone panels (or choose one of the colors from the existing stone -- or brick in one of those colors) to use for covering the foundation of the addition (panels) and to outline the sidewalk (actual stone or brick) to make the sidewalk the full width of the stone and steps or, better yet, redo the entire sidewalk in those stone or brick. https://www.google.com/search?q=brick+panels+for+covering+exterior+foundation&client=firefox-b-1-d&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi6nN3a0_3nAhUhnOAKHRf8ArcQsxh6BAgOECs&biw=1366&bih=654...See MoreHow would I add a screened porch in the front of my house.?
Comments (16)A three season room, french doors to it? Call an architect. Footers, headers, permits, roof lines, and money. It isn't just "add a screened porch" . ..unless you use the one you have Otherwise? Buy a beautiful gazebo, and put it where it best suits the view. Enjoy in good weather with screens...See MoreTrailrunner Zone 7a VA
