I watched this video from start to finish. Well done. It got me excited to want to build my own. The detailed information I found to be important. The concrete work was very well done. I’m a 65 year old woman who’s interested in building but not capable of construction and yet it still moved me to want to build a sunroom. Great job.

I would hire you to build me a house based on the skills and knowledge you demonstrated in your video. Just noted that when sheering and drywalling, try not to end your joints at the corners of the openings. By going past the corner it strengthens and reduces the possibility of settlement cracks. Your video was very well produced and easy to follow.

Well done video! Really helpful to see the process - got a finished covered patio with two full sides of the house so only need to build 2 walls. Plus the 8x8 corner posts are already covered with hardy plank trim. I'll just need to side the lower portion under the windows and trim around the windows. This is a big help for designing the framing between the posts - I figure to taper the sill plate on the one sloped side then add a second sill plate so I have enough nail surface on the tapered end. Really only looking at a 3 season type room so considering the easy breeze type windows which will consume the majority of the wall space. Not worried too much about heavily insulating it so 2x4 walls will be enough - winter isn't too bad in NC. This gives me a good idea on how to layout my framing.

Thank you. The new room space was small enough to be able to be passively condition from the existing air conditioning system in the larger house. So we did not need to run any new ducts or anything like that. If the existing ac system was not enough, I likely would have installed a mini-split heat pump air conditioning system in the new room addition space.

The remaining post and headers were left in place to handle the loads above as the always have.

When building this new room from the existing porch space I preferred to install the anchors bolts into the new concrete pad using epoxy. Wedge anchors, like you described, may have worked fine however I was concerned there could be an increase chance of the concrete cracking. The anchors were installed close to the edge of the new concrete floor.

What I did was visit with the local building authority before starting the project to verify what they expected upfront. I designed my plans based on that insight. It was a bit of a pain, and slowed project start date, but the rest of permitting went relatively smoothly afterwards.

@MrKistel
@MrKistel 19 күн бұрын
Thanks. Rebar was determined not necessary for this concrete application. The concrete did include fiber additive however which can help hold concrete together if there are mild cracks. The floor was designed to be a light load surface. It would only ever see foot traffic. Concrete can crack under flexing situations and metal reinforcement can minimize flexion. It was determined this surface would have minimal flexion forces in part to the concrete underneath and thus metal reinforcement would not add any benefit.

Excellent video. I would love to convert my porch patio into a room. I was wondering do you have to have permits for this. My house is already built with a porch patio.

Generally with a project like this I start brainstorming with freehand pencil sketches. Once I get a fairly solid idea I try to build in a CAD program to confirm if it will work out in scale and to confirm materials quantities.

Amazing work and thank you for such an informative video. I'm going through my addition and this helped me a lot! you have no idea.....i have a question regarding your post that's on the outside. I didn't see any mention in your videos that you had concrete to cover the base of your posts. if you look at 32:36. the still image of your exterior, the bracket and the post is not shown, it seems like you covered it all up with concrete. Can you give some insight on this? thanks again.

Thank you Raymond, it is so great to hear the video was useful for you. So the spoiler is the exterior post corners are not covered. They are still exposed. It is a tiny aesthetic sacrifice but better to allow any moisture a way out. The image you referenced was graphically altered for a clean look. if you look at some of my concrete patio videos you will see how the corners look. Thanks again and best of luck with your project.

This is an awesome diy video. I do not know what area of the country/world you are in and if cement pours are the same all over but I am not aware of a cement pour that thick without some metal re-enforcement
@MrKistel

Thank you. This project was permitted by the local building authority and the concrete pour method shown was recommended and approved for this particular project. The floor is not anticipated to have heavy loads applied to it and probably won't have significant cracking. The mix used also contained fiber reinforcement and even if the slab were to crack there is a floating floor above it that would not be affected.

Cost for a new room addition can vary tremendously. Every home presents its own unique variables and requirements so it is impossible to provide an accurate idea of what your project may run. Best of luck with your endeavor and please provide an update if you move forward.

Excellent video! I have a question about the flooring. We are having a three season sunroom built and have been getting conflicting information about LVP flooring for the room. Some flooring people said it should be fine, some have said the excessive sun exposure and lack of temperature control will eventually damage the floor (fading, expanding and contracting). Any problems with your flooring so far?
@MrKistel
@MrKistel Жыл бұрын
Thank you and it is exciting to hear of your sunroom build project. I hope it all comes out as you intended. The flooring shown in this video has been holding up great and I would use this exact product again without hesitation. I do think it is important to leave some space for expansion and contraction. Let me know what you end up going with.

Thanks, in this case the room is conditioned passively from the open spaces. No ducts were added. The room is small enough the existing HVAC system works fine to keep the room comfortable. If the house was in area with more extreme climate conditions additional heating and cooling considerations would have been implemented. Something like a separate Mini split system for the new room perhaps.
