Your porches

[tmschuller]

Let’s see your hang out spots INGO. I have seen pictures of a couple here and there and thought it would be cool to see more
Here is mine work in progress.. added the old galvanized tin around the perimeter digging out around and adding flower and rock
Wife hung lights today, ordered ceiling fan for it and more pics to follow

This is my view from my "office".

I washed all the dust and pollen off our front porch a couple of times over the weekend. The cats enjoy it more than we do, but I plan to spend more time out there this summer.




The view isn't bad either. Quite a peaceful place.

The grilling area...

Because one the most important aspects of a happy marriage is square footage, the wife has her porch...

And I have my deck...

A little before and after shot...

Here's a before and after of our front porch. Some days I regret it, I never dreamed it would be as difficult as it is to tear myself off of this thing and actually get other work done around here. The past several weeks I've practically lived on this front porch.

The struggle is real.

My wife thought I was nuts to install two ceiling fans on her porch. But sitting out there yesterday, when the temp was 90°, in a light fan generated breeze, both of us enjoying a book, she finally said, these fans were a good idea.

Did you have to get some special fans? I have seen fans under porch roofs where the blades look like they melted and are just hanging down. I assume from being exposed to the temp and moisture extremes.

I'm just behind ya in that regard. I've mentioned it a few times and the idea was rejected, so far.

About a 10x10 covered area and almost full length patio down below.

The fans are nice on those really hot days, i'd do it.

It ain't fancy, but it's secluded. We just got the deck replaced about 2 months ago

There are specific exterior fans that are moisture resistant

They also really cut down on bugs if your porch isn't screened. That was the biggest reason I put them up.

That's true too, we also put up some tiki torches around the porch too which helps, mosquitos aren't bad around here but there's a lot of little annoying gnats flying around.

Mine are Hunter 52" three blades rated for outdoor use.

The deck of my getaway cabin is only 8' X 12', but the view is grand !

Here is a partial shot of mine. It's 20' long so the round table and chairs are to the left out of the shot. It's covered again in green dust and I'm not cleaning it until it's finished coming off the trees. Hopefully by next weekend it should be done. Nothing fancy, mesh furniture came with the house and we are too cheap to replace it. I stripped it down a couple years ago, painted everything except the floor and installed a screen system.

We use it mostly in spring and fall. Summers gets too hot and winters too cold. It has been really nice this spring and we have probably gotten more use out of it this year than in most years.
