Popular Post Airehead Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 25, 2019 Porch construction is done. 24 inch solid wall and pet safe screen. Should keep the Airedales in unless we unlatch the door to let them out. Now need finishing touch advice from the skilled @AirwickWithCheese Oh and yes, less than an hour after I set the furniture, Lindy puked on the rug. This is why we can’t have nice things. 6 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 25, 2019 Share #7 Posted June 25, 2019 So the porch is roofed, walled, and screened in? That sounds more like a room than a porch, no wonder you wanted rugs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted June 25, 2019 Share #11 Posted June 25, 2019 Just now, Road Runner said: We call them "sun rooms". We call them screen rooms or screen porches or in some cases, sleeping porches, depending on what they are used for. A nice sleeping porch within the sound of running water is a wonderful thing, esp. in cool weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted June 25, 2019 Share #12 Posted June 25, 2019 They are screened porches if the walls are made of entirely screen over vertical supports. If the walls are partially solid construction, then they become rooms or sun rooms. Sun rooms usually have some sort of screen/window option, allowing for use of the room in the winter and protection from the elements year round.

You are finally wrong. A sun room is glass enclosed and has climate control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. McKissick had a sleeping porch upstairs to stave off the Greenville August humidity. Solid walls with screened access on 2 sides. All screened access is for the poor.

I was just talking out of my ass for fun. My best friend had a sun room. His had screened jalousie type windows, I think they are called? They covered most of the walls. He could close or open them depending on the weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windows can either be fixed, removable or opening and the room can be a screen room if they are removed. But most screen rooms are simply enclosed areas with no climate control.

Road Runner Posted June 25, 2019 Share #19 Posted June 25, 2019 If Airehead's "porch" doesn't have a window option, I think she will soon regret it. Especially living up in the far north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas is too far south even though it's close and certainly too far west. Greenville is perfect. Well, other than our Westside now with the summer illegal migrants.

Remain silent, you are an ignorant Texan. Although you were mostly correct you failed to account for second/third floor sleeping porches inside great southern plantations. Tara had 3 upstairs sleeping porches. 4 if you count the sleeping accommodations for the working volunteers near the fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned sleeping porches in my first corrective post to the ignorant bird man. And here is one of my favorite sleeping porches at Greenwood Creek Ranch on the Colorado River. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpenter and has hosted many dignitaries in it's long history. The mattresses are the some ones used in Hilton hotels, and to be fair, the port only has two screen walls. The step back makes it appear to have three, but is does not. Greenwood Creek flows beside the house and the Colorado river flows in front of the house. If you continue to besmirch my sleeping porch, Wojsharr will not give you a delicious bass caught in Greenwood Creek and you will lose your zipline and kayak privileges. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
