Carpentry…Porches (day 12)

Landon worked today finishing the porch railing and installing screens in the screened-in section of the front porch. The first photo shows the front corner of the “L” Shaped House with all of the railings in place as Landon works to fit some of the trim on the porch framing.

The next photo shows the finished railing installed all the way around the screen porch.

The third photo Landon as he works to install the first sheet of aluminum screen material on the panel just outside the front door. The 48” wide screen material runs all the way from top to bottom as one continuous sheet on the flush face of the framing, and railing. In this system the spindles and railing are on the inside of the screen and the trim elements clamp the screen to the framing. The fourth photo shows the panel on the left side of the screen door after the screen and all of the trim have been installed.

The last photo (taken early this evening) shows the screened-in section of the front porch as Landon was packing up to leave for the day. The whole porch looks fantastic with the railings and screen in place.
