Nice Job No Trespassing!
Thanks for the link.
I think you just solved my porch screening dilemma.

Looks great. Makes the house look entirely different. If you count, like I did, there was 4 extra projects <font color="blue"> 1. we deleted the small window, 2. moved one of the other windows down to where it was. 3. Added the sliding doors, painted the window and door frames, and 4. re-sided the end of the house with cedar siding.
</font> wrapped up in the one project. As long as you and the SO are happy with the outcome, does it really matter that the other projects will be postponed?

That looks great.. what a difference.. the porch and cedar siding makes it look like a ranch house.. I really like it! What was the brand name for the cedar siding.. and if you don't mind the cost per $/sqft? My 1790 log cabin is currently covered w/ the old german/abestos type siding.. pretty ugly.. I've been undecided as to show the logs(might not be good).. or re-side it and help seal the house up.. I've wanted to build a porch for it too.. great job!

Here's a link to the siding we used. http://www.lazyslumber.com/5_8_bevel_siding.html
We got it at Menards and all together including the 8 inch lumber (covers 6 inches with an overlap of 1 inch top and bottom), nails, housewrap, finish, and silicone it was around $2.50/sq. ft. I guess. The little bit we did was around $500 for the above mentioned materials. That doesn't include the porch or the new sliding door. Hope my wife keeps it finished /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
