About Porsche

Ray J. Walberg asked:


Fixing up a porch is a great idea that will extend the use of your home considerably. Using just some paint, stain and basic carpentry skills, you can make your porch a pleasure to spend time on.

An example shown on http://DoItYourself.com shows a couple from Georgia who wanted enjoy their extended warm seasons of spring, summer and fall, but avoid the problems of mosquitoes and decided to take their slab concrete patio and make it into a screened in area they could enjoy almost all year long.

The patio was just concrete square under a roof overhang. They wanted the porch to blend in with the home, as well as protect the family from the heat, humidity and insects of the Georgia summers. The concrete slab declined slightly to allow for runoff, so there had to be some adjustments made to accommodate this feature.

Here is their step by step solution:

Step One. Cut pre-primed 4X8 sheets of beadboard ceiling paneling.

Step Two. Install the celing paneling and the ceiling fan. They used a nail gun to make the installation of the ceiling panels faster and easier than trying to swing a hammer upward. Before all of the panelling was installed, the ceiling was wired for the fan and light. This will allow the porch to remain cool and the light will allow the room to be used at night. This was a two person job, with one person holding the fan and the other connecting the wires and screwing the fan in place. The finish trim hid the seams in the paneling.

Step Three. Frame out the porch. Using 2X4 boards, they spaced them to allow for standard width screen to be installed. The crosspieces were nailed directly through the vertical braces.

Step Four. Install the interior panelling. Pine and plywood bead board paneling was secured by staple gun. These had to be trimmed along the bottom to accommodate the uneven floor.

Step Five. Install and level the exterior paneling. The harbor ad exterior panels wear put into place, from the bottom up. The first one had to be custom cut to allow for the uneven ground line and then the rest followed. These panels were painted to match the existing exterior of the house, so there was a lot of trial and error to match the aged yellow paint exactly. But weather resistant exterior paint was used so that it can be easily kept clean by rinsing Wit soap and water.

Step Six. Do the screening. Vinyl grids had to be screwed directly into the wooden frames. Then the screens were attached to the channels in the grids, so the fiberglass or aluminum screens could be slid in without using staples. When the screens were rolled into the grids with a spline, the extra screening material was cut off. With a mallet, the caps over the vinyl channels were banged into place.

You should make as much use of outdoor furniture as you can, especially if you live in a climate where you only get a few good months of weather.  Those good months of warm and sunny weather can be used to the maximum when you have the right patio furniture on your property.  One type of outdoor furniture that you do not want to miss out on are porch swings. 

 

Porch swings come in a variety of different styles and are ideal for just about anywhere outdoors.  They have a back and forth motion to them that makes it impossible not to relax as you sway gently in them.  Some of them are stationary and slide back and forth.  Some of them hang from a porch overhang.  Some of them are one piece and swing and have an attached overhang.  There are porch swings that come in single, double and triple width.  Some of them are wider than others.  This is the one piece of outdoor furniture that you do not want to do without. 

 

You can make a lot of use of a porch swing.  This is an ideal piece of outdoor furniture that is perfect for the whole family.  The type of porch swings that you get depend on where you wish to put them as well as the way your house is constructed.  If you have an overhang on the front of the porch, for example, you may wish to get a porch swing that hangs from hooks that are secured into the ceiling of the overhang.  This will allow you to hang the swing from a chain and then gently sway back and forth.

 

If you have a deck and wish to use a porch swing, you can get one piece porch swings that already have an overhang and allow you to swing gently back and forth.  These swings should be used to sway gently and are not for use by those who want to swing on playground swings.  A porch swing should be a gentle way that you can relax during the warm weather. 

 

Other outdoor furniture that you will want to get includes an outdoor table and chairs.  Again, these come in many different styles and some look so good that you will be tempted to use them for indoor use.  Lounge chairs are also a good way to relax in the outdoors.  You can get comfortable cushions for your furniture so that it makes it even more relaxing for you when you are outside. 

 

Look to online when you want to buy patio furniture or any type of furniture for the outdoors.  You can find more of a selection when you shop online for this type of product and the prices are also better.  You can have the items shipped directly to you and can often find matching products that will pull the look together.  You should look for outdoor furniture that is sturdy and will hold up in all types of weather, including the extreme heat and cold.

Here are some very quick and easy ideas to make your porch look extra special this Halloween.  Everything can be brought locally and inexpensively, so if you’re wondering how to add some last minute seasonal flair to your porch then read on.

Broomstick Display

Tie together a number of inexpensive broomsticks, broom side up, so that they stand independently.  Use black and orange ribbon to secure them for Halloween style magic.  Several of these displays either side of your porch look very effective.

Pumpkin Family

It just wouldn’t be Halloween without a pumpkin or two!  They always look amazing on a Halloween porch, carved creatively of course and with a candle burning inside on the night itself.  Try using a mixture of different sizes and colors of pumpkin to create your own pumpkin family.  

Halloween Baskets

Create a Halloween basket by first lining one with large autumn leaves and then filling with red apples and baby pumpkins.  If your basket has handles then tie with orange and black ribbons.

Halloween Wreath

Take some florist wire and make an inexpensive shop brought wreath look extra special by threading through mini pumpkins, berries, cinnamon sticks (wind the wire around these to attach) and large autumn leaves.  Be creative and in no time you’ll have a door decoration to be really proud of.

Quick and Easy Lanterns

Create instant lanterns with tea-lights and empty glass jars.  These can be painted with Halloween characters or left clear, as I prefer them, with the candles on show.  You can position them on steps or wind wire around the rims to create a handle to hang them by.

Happy Halloween!
