Deck and Screened in Porch
| I love to built decks, but this deck I envision would take me too long so I have a contractor doing it. It was going to be only a deck but a few things add a screened in porch too; I have bad mosquitos... oh, they're naughty; my friend Lisa just had a screened in porch installed at her house and I see how wonderfully comfortable it can be for her out there. | |

Here is the where the deck and screend in porch
will go before the work begins. |
The deck is in 2 parts. The far square is where
the screened in porch will go and the smaller square close to me
will be a simple deck. |

View from the roof. The decking material I
am going to use is a hardwood called Ipe (e-pay) from Brazil...
but it is NOT an endangered wood. It is only cut and grown from
reforested
areas. It is a wonder wood. Check out this link about it. Ipe
Wood. The Screened in porch flooring will be tongue and groove
Ipe but the exposed deck will Ipe with a a gap between the boards. |

After a full day of work the guys got this
much of the screened in area done. By tomorrow they should have
the roof all installed and the porch "dried-in".
|
The crew started to rip up the roof where the
new roof line will be. good thing the forecast does not call for
rain.
