FRAMING AN UNEVEN SCREENED PORCH | Back Porch DIY Reno: Episode 6

The back porch on my parents' new home was built on uneven pavers... so screening it in has proven to be tricky! But with a little extra planning and LOTS of math, I think I've made it work. In addition to framing out the entire porch for screens, I also designed and incorporated a Craftsman design to match the style of this 1915 home.

This is the kind of project I would start and then realize how annoying it is going to be, so i give up. I admire your tenacity!

[@ReneeRenovates]

Hahaha trust me, the thought has crossed my mind-especially with all of the broken bits 😂

[@cam-tv5rb]

LMAO you and me both 😅

[@Wheezywatches]

Sometimes it helps to keep running the drill as you back it out. My wall has taken many a bit hostage.

[@OdeToFoliage]

This is so satisfying, your parents are lucky to have you doing such clever work. I can't wait to see the final results!

[@ReneeRenovates]

Thank you! ❤️

[@kevinarnold7065]

It's fun watching how gingerly you handle those tools, not a criticism.

[@bobbybyrne1899]

Even though the doors likely don't weight a lot, I would still put an angled cross brace in the top empty section of the door. From the middle on the hinge side to the top corner on the latch side.

[@ReneeRenovates]

Good call! I'll see about adding some extra support there...

[@lindaroyal8161]

It looks good, very nice design - original and large enough so it's not crowded.

[@dragon6irl]

My mom has always wanted to screen in their porch but here they are about to retire and move out of the city 🤷🏼‍♀️ I plan to buy the house off of them and it is my mission to screen that porch! Thank you for the ideas!

[@jaredwhipkey1868]

This is amazing!!! Awesome Job!!!

[@markarterbury8241]

You did a great job!

[@ranns160]

Yes Indeed! Great Work!

[@bernelledore4744]

Great job, love your videos. As a keen DIY’er myself, can I suggest that you bend your knees and not back because it will cause issues in the long run, sorry to be familiar 😊

[@ReneeRenovates]

My sore lower back thanks you for this reminder 😆

[@jwiheath1928]

Beautiful job I love it

[@susanblackley7065]

You are a wunderkind of construction! That looks fantastic! Talk about a "Can Do" perspective!

[@theworldneedsmorehippies]

Amazing! Can't wait for part 2

[@nataleefelten8440]

Wow! So impressive!!!

[@mrs.whatley5596]

Great job

[@mairrunge9858]

What a great outdoor space...so open snd roomy...then add cats...I would be out there all the time!

[@gonsalomon]

Cedar is also hella expensive, so pine is a great choice! And I mean, you could treat cedar with chemical shenanigans... but why would you, when you got that treated pine for at least half the price. By the way, if you try pulling the drill while it's still spinning, it's much easier, and the bit won't break. Plus, you can ask for a drill with reverse function, so you get in and out like it's a piece of cake. Hope it'll be useful later on whenever you decide to use one again 😅

[@gaylewhauwhau3972]

Ypu neat apright young lady, so brave to use the hammer gun,Id be nervous 😁👋👍

[@ajaxbac]

I am halfway through the video, and I noticed that you did not sweep up the debris first. Are some of those boards laid on top of old leaves etc. That won't be a tight fit at floor.

[@ReneeRenovates]

Rigid debris like sticks were moved out of the way. A few thin dead leaves may have stuck under, but that shouldn't compromise the fit.

[@shadegarden7375]

Cool design and problem solving!

[@deesa3500]

Not bad, not bad at all, I love it! ❤

[@ricksanchez5474]

Dude, this is awesome!

[@Goldgoodnesscan]

You did really well!!! ❤

[@Antdebby1]

Great job!

I have heard the temporary support board called a Jake leg

[@Sashas-mom]

Impressive

[@HannadayFLO]

Flimsy looking

[@rpredl]

Wow pocket joints and a jig saw. One thing don’t use your level as a hammer.

[@marieesposito9145]

❤

[@jenniesmythe8188]

I’d take up the stones and add more dirt and sand or something to level it out. That or I’d add concrete and level it all out

[@deborahguirl7993]

❤❤❤

[@sherrygaetke3968]

Why didn’t you blow all the dirt and leaves off the patio before even starting the job?

[@littlemissy8356]

She's a grandmother. She looks 25.

I cant wait to see the screening installed. It appears that some sections are bigger than 4ft. It just doesnt compute in my head.

[@katswigglemama]

I have a small screened in back stoop. We have found that a secondary removable framed screen gives a lot more stability. My parents have a patio that birds fly into and are constantly busting it out due to the larger panel without reinforcement.
