Your porches

Retirement photo, 2009. Princess went to Rainbow bridge about 10 years back. I've had Brandy for 9.
Porch is open now... no screens, and different chairs.

I used to have a RK rocker but got a GCI version on sale a while back and man it’s dangerous. It will lock you in for hours.

That's the guest rocker. We sit on a nice glider set, individual seats with table in the middle. Took that photo because of the deer in the side yard just walking thru in the middle of the day.

Looks nice, but i can't believe you got rid of the screens! I'm actually made out of the exact thing mosquitoes and deer flies eat, so the screens on our porch are the only thing that make it possible for me to sit still outside in spring and summer.

Now that you mention it, I do see a deer there!

Never had screens on the porch. Sweetie didn't want them, and it was built because she wanted a porch.

My bad. Meant to quote @daddyusmaximus in the post before yours. Sorry for the mix-up.

No, that is not my drink, but it is my porch. Wife just climbed out to get me a refill. The porch is 14x40, screened, facing east and we basically live out there from May to September.

I built this all steel 12" × 9" pergola when I got back from Florida last week. I did it by myself but I don't recommend it. Good thing I did this for a living as a millwright. It says it takes 3 people and if I didn't have the right equipment, I'd say they are spot on. It weighs over 720 lbs and it was bought from Sam's Club. The furniture bought from Sam's Club is covered right now with UV inhibiting covers. We bought the matching rug from Ollie's of all places and they had the best prices!

Those are blueberry bushes around the porch so we have the fake owl on a swiveling piece of schedule 40 PVC. I drove a 6' piece of rebar into the ground and slipped the PVC over it so when a breeze comes, the inflatable owl swings around to scare the bejeebers out of the birds. If I shot the robins, I would have a big pile of feathered friends plus my neighbors would thing I'm a bigger wanker than I already am. The old lady doesn't care as long as she has blueberries to pick with the grandkids!

my awesome great aunt gave me these rockers for our porch. I need to take them apart and refinish the wood soon. I love ‘em.
