Last summer JJ and I decided we wanted a screened in porch. Originally we planned on doing it ourselves. JJ took construction in high school so we thought how hard could it be? We already had the roof and the concrete, so essentially it'd just be framing two walls.
Yes, I do realize we look like we'd be hillbilly's from these picture haha.
We had heard about the Screen Tight system and figured we could do that, no problem. So off to Lowe's we went, buying everything we needed. We tend to go all gung ho on something and then lose interest. So in the garage it sat...
And sat...
And sat...
Until finally on another trip to Lowe's a man approached us handing us his business card and asked if we needed any work done. And bingo! We were in luck. He followed us home to give us an estimate and we happily accepted it. He looked over our materials and told us what we needed more of and what we could return. The next day 2 workers came and got started. They finished in about 2 and a half days. I think it turned out awesome, and it looks like it was built with the house!
The only thing that went wrong was JJ, in an attempt to save the tools from the craziest flash flood rain, dropped the contractors saw and it broke. Complete accident, but we had to replace that. Have I mentioned JJ accidentally breaks a lot of stuff? Such as saws, door handles, legs....
