Wisconsin Porch/Deck Build-out
I was asked back to this house I’d worked on the previous summer (ceiling and trim work during the initial build) to build out an upper-level enclosed porch.
I fabricated wire-rail window guard inserts, built out the deck structure, then did the finish work and installed furniture after the windows were installed.
The windows on this deck open top-down in a sliding accordion structure, and have screens.
