Seminole Heights Porch

About a month ago, I began this project. Its the front porch of an early 20th century bungalow in Seminole Heights in Tampa. Its a beautiful little place with period correct interior updates on a tree covered lot. The homeowner however, can’t enjoy the front porch without being accompanied by an inconvenient number of mosquitoes. That’s where I come in. Instead of a typical aluminum frame that would have been a bit out of step with the rest of the property, the homeowner wanted a wood frame. Using a “Screen Tight” track system, I am able to accommodate. After a new delivery of some kiln-dried pressure treated lumber, I can begin the scribe molding to the existing structure of the porch. Then paint and finally, screen application.

Pictured is the wood frame completed by me last month. the extra space next to the doorway is for a mail-slot. Stay tuned.
