Ron is the best. If you want to learn something, learn from him. He is not just showing you how to do it, he shows you how to do it the right way. I love his videos and enjoy watching everything he did.

You’re a good communicator. Clear, concise and with a pleasant and at ease voice. It almost seems you are used to teach. Thanks
My Mom used to watch shows like this and This Old House.. I remember hating it and thinking it was so boring because we lived in a townhouse rental... my Mom didn't build anything but was always watching those building shows. So here I am in my 30's and I've built most of the furniture in my home! I'm working on a 6ft church pew for my hallway now and next up is an entryway table then nightstands to match the king sized farmhouse bed I made a few months ago. I now appreciate these straight forward, calmly explained building shows/clips.. just took 30 years 😁
I saw this old house with Rob Villa (edit: Bob Villa) first when I was living in the USA in the mid nineties. Always liked it and my American colleges were always surprised I knew the technical English terms of every part of a house. Fun times.
Lol they say be true to your self because people that don't have your wisdom attention or knowledge will criticize you . But when they learn it or experience it they will look back and understand and respect who you was or who you are.
Ron - I just like a man who can a handle a hammer & other essential tools & who has a vision on what he wants to make. Having common sense, & considering all the best angles as well as the correct material to use properly for all occasions considered. Appreciated your video & your take charge attitude!🔨🗡📐
WOW! You made this so clear that I believe I could almost do this myself! I’m a do it yourselfer and quite handy. I’m also a 73 year old Gramma! You make the process make sense! THANK YOU! 🛠
@@johnniesmith6416 you’re such a nice man. I’m far from stupid. I think the stupid one is the one who thinks a screened porch doesn’t have to BUILT. In other words it’s a building. Obviously you’ve never ‘built’ anything.
this is an outstanding video. every step is so clear, i know if i can understand it, a crafts person surely could. i also love that i don't need to buy wildly expensive tools to do this...bottom line: ron hazelton literally nails it. great job!!!!!!!!!!
and yet there are so many craftsmen out there certain in the belief they know what they're doing and yet watching even this simple video could help them avoid dozens of mistakes.
Go Ron! Another great DIY video. It was so easy to follow. I'm 70 yrs old woman and still love to "do it myself" when possible. Thanks for the great video! Loved it! 😊 Texas
You can do it yourself, no husband needed. Nothing is more satisfying than finishing up a project that you did all by yourself. Power tools are fun, I just bought a finish nailer I can’t wait to use.
That fat bass line at 3:29 though Such an awesome channel, I miss the home improvement shows back in the 90ies and this satisfies that Need I didn’t even know I had. Thank you very much for all this awesome content!
+Aunt Betty's Virtual Thrift Shop ROTFLMAO Aunt Betty YOU GOT THAT RIGHT... FOR SURE!!!!!!!! I didn't notice at first! Looking back at Ron he DOES look rather dapper doing hard labor work!
My covered patio has been an eye sore for three years. Now I'm buying the little 2 bedroom house and I need more space. I want to use that area as an extended living space /art studio. I though I would have to hire someone and go to a great expense to enclose it ,as am resourcefulness but know zip about carpentry. I though that I may not be strong enough as a woman to do it even though I work out!!!! no confidence until now. I'm so happy I Googled and found this video, delighted and excited to get to work. Because of this video I now know that I can do this work. Thank you my dear you really nailed it for me. Off to Home Depot I go I love that place there are cute guys all over the place too.:) thankyou!! thankyou!!
Angela White ...... girl u can do anything u set your mind to do , sky's tha limit !!! Yes this video was awesome , and super encouraging , hope u finished your projects , make a video, several of us would like to kno how it's all turned out . 🍃🌹
I’ve been binge watching this channel and I love every single video so far 😅 I love how in depth his explanations are. Makes me feel like I could build a 4 season porch all by myself.
I love this! We want to do this but had not found a step-by-step video to help us know exactly what to do for the 4-season room. Thank you ever so much!
You did a great job I feel inspired. I recently purchase a home and want a sunroom this has given me inspiration. I also subscribed to your channel today to see what else you are doing. Love Love this video
First time watching, this video came up in my suggested videos to watch. Glad I did. It's wonderfully put together. And the way you explain everything, very nice. Thank you 😊
Gosh , this project was completed 4 yrs an some months ago , wow! Still it's a great video, this guy is very good at explaining every step of tha way thru his project. Who knows, I may try to add one of these onto my home also 👍 looks like an extremely easy build , yet extremely beautiful. 🍃🌹
He makes it all look so easy! He’s really detail oriented and obviously very experienced. I’ve got a few jobs for a similar style house on the West Coast?!
It is so wonderful the way men can build things. Men have built all of our roads, maps, buildings, and designed entire cities. I admire and respect men for this ability of which you have demonstrated very well here.
It came out beautiful! This is what I want to do to my back yard patio. Thank you, I learned so much but not enough to be able to do my project myself! Enjoy you awesome new all seasons room! :)
Wow! What are a great job you do! Now I feel little closer to understand that human can do the installing windows, building the house 🏘️🏡!! Thanks God Bless you!
Your video was such a soothing thing to watch. You are an artist! Everything was so intentional and done with such care. As well I learned a few things. The Good Spouse must be thrilled with the outcome.
Great video!!! Just what I needed to convert my 3 season room into 4 seasons. You made it look so easy that give me reason to do job on my own. One question I have though is what did you do with concrete flooring for insulation? Another is are you using any source of heating/cooling? Thanks.
Wow. Your level of craftsmanship is something to aspire to. You make it look so easy but It's the level of precision that turns out something as good looking as this conversion.
Ron, you do really nice work. I like how you do not cut corners and do the job the way work should be done. I'm also impressed that you actually used plywood for the exterior sheathing instead of OSB.
I wish I was married to a guy who could do this stuff! My dad was a builder, and I’m a tiny woman (4’ 9”), but would love to be able to do this myself.
Hahaha...same here, I'm only 2" taller...but, it's the reason why my husband has to make money so we can hire someone who knows what they're doing!!! Lol
I am happy i can do all work on my house myself: plumbing, electric, flooring, roofing, masonry, carpentry. Only thing I am not good at is plastering. Fortunately i have a bro who is a crack at that. I'd hate if if i had to 'call a guy' every time i needed something fixed. I learned a lot from my dad
@@Ed19601 good for you...but the majority of women that watched this video, their husbands are a lot like mine...lol! But it's okay, we just have to be happy and appreciate with what we have!!! Lol😅
@@Ed19601 yes...exactly. that's what we want...to give our husbands to do list...and then they'll actually do it...then we are happy. lol. But in our case...husband and I, will make a list...then we give it to someone else to do it!!! Lol, if that makes sense!
that is amazing....if I ever get married again, that man better be handy. I'm tired paying an arm and a leg to get anything done. Does your company work in the Kissimmee/Orlando area? great video👍👍
I know I grew up in a house where my grandfather did EVERYTHING I never saw another man come in and fix nothing...but the guys well a lot of them anyway DONT fix ish! I have the same thoughts as you!
Fantastic TEACHER! Wonderful video. Just what we needed to help us be able to afford making our screened in porch into a four season room. Now I am excited to get started. I plan to have my lap top on the job every step of the way! Invaluable resource! Thank you for your kindness in sharing your awesome knowledge! Nick and Nancy Fleece Venice, FL
Ron, very, very nice and I appreciate your sharing; however, to me it’s another room that has to be cleaned, dusted, vacuumed, etc and worry about spilling something on furnishings or scraping a chair across the floor. I’d live to have one (for my orchids) but I still want a large screened porch. With a porch, I can enjoy it as a outdoor room but do all kinds of outdoor projects even when it’s raining or snowing or just plain ole blistering hot. And I don’t worry about sawdust or even if I get a little paint (I can always sand or use paint remover) and I can set up a large cardboard box as a paint enclosure) if it’s too hot to be out in the sun. Because I have a pretty nice vaulted, varnished t&g ceiling, I don’t spray paint large items except in the yard, but small craft projects can be sprayed in the box set on its side. If the power goes out - with my fairly tall vaulted ceiling porch, I can place the generator on the porch in the outer wall. Let’s say we have a snow storm system coming in, at my age it’s tough getting out to the trash can in ice and snow - I can wheel the can up on the deck where all I have to do is open the door, lift the lid, and drop the bag in. It can even be rolled into the porch if the snow is getting too deep or the ice freezes the lid shut. And in the winter, there isn’t any smell. When the weather clears, back to it’s position it goes. The point is there are a whole lot of things I can do on a porch, particularly a screened porch that keeps bugs, leaves, critters, etc off. And you aren’t limited to decoration - my porch has oak antique furniture which includes items like settee, church pew, an 1800s head/foot board soon to be turned into a bench, same period dining table and fodder chopper, along with lots of antique/vintage decorative items. If you keep them clean and rubbed down with orange or walnut oil even the orange furniture wax and buffed out - it keeps it all protected and moisture beads up and is easily wiped off. I have had household wood furniture on my porch for over 20 years. The porch is attached to a large deck on one side and a small one on the other side that allows me to work on my potting bench. Settee and chair cushions can be left all year - my settee, has its same household foam cushions that I put on it 30 yrs ago to go in my living room - but there isn’t any filling etc that would mold, just a dense foam with whatever fabric catches my attention for slip covers - easily changed out. And even better, if starting fresh with cushions, use outdoor foam, and Sunbrella brand fabric. Can even be bleached (check their website for direction) if it meets up with mustard, wine, grape juice, pickled beets, tomato sauce, etc. But my point is if I have drapes, inside sofa/chairs (interior wood you can’t get to to protect and all the stuffings etc that would stay damp for days and mildew ), interior rugs & flooring and other interior furnishings (lamps, etc) - it becomes a living room - not one that you feel comfortable to cut shelves on, or to sand and paint a chest, or some other project normally done outside. In addition, even if you open the windows, you still can get that fine mist of sawdust etc on all that glass and if doing a lot of projects, endless cleaning. And you will never have the same breezes as with an open screened porch due to all the framing, blocking, sheetrock, etc. Now all that said - if you are fortunate enough to have the space and money - go for both. Place the four season with HVAC on the warmer side and the screened porch on the shady side. Depending of course where you live and the room’s orientation, remember all that glass, even with a regular roof, can be quite hot and bright in summer - you will need HVAC (certainly AC). But if you orient the room with an South/East , or South/West orientation, in the winter you have a lovely sunroom feel with sun streaming in - even do skylights with blinds in them, or do windows with blinds in between glass panes to control the sun exposure. It gives your plants (think orchids, violets, gardenia, hibiscus and many more that can be house plants) plenty of light in winter. When it’s 10F degrees outside with the wind howling, and you have HVAC, there is no better place than a sun room or greenhouse. If you have a good southern exposure, and the outside temps stay above the 30, the heat will rarely come on until evening. But in the summer when it’s hot, the screen porch on the east side is a delightful place for a cup of coffee, breakfast, dinner, etc but being on the East, the sun is off it by midday and through the afternoon (you can place small ornamental trees out about 20’ from the house to shade the afternoon sun). It really depends on how your house is built, what’s around it, yours or your neighbors trees and a number of other factors. If you can only have a sunroom (a 4 season room), you stay inside most of the time, and you don’t care for plants, then you might not want to place it on the south or west side as the air conditioning might be a little pricey. Use glass that reflects the heat and triple pan windows and doors. Or if your view (or position) demands the south/west side, just make sure you place trees appropriately to shade in the summer and drop their leaves to let the sun in for the winter. Or have thermal backed drapes. It’s amazing how much heat builds up with all that glass. Good luck. I have lived in my house for 30 years and have had a screened porch for 20 and though in the winter I think how nice a sunroom would be for my plants- giving up my porch that’s works great Spring through fall - I can’t imagine. Even in winter, when it snows, I can walk out in my slippers to get a few minutes of fresh air and feel like I’m out in the snowy air without getting wet or having to pull on gear. It’s great in your jammies super early am hearing the doves just starting to coo or the birds waking up -while having a cup of tea. Even to step on the deck while the hummingbirds eager for their first feed, buzz you or just lean against the interior railing on a drizzly morning hearing them buzz and squeak inches from your head - but you are still dry, no umbrella to disturb them. Or when you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, to have a cup of hot chocolate or tea on the porch listening to the silence and gazing at the moon - still in jammies, no need for shoes or worrying about spiders, bats or mosquitos. It’s not the same in 3 or 4 season room, having had both. Of course if you are an inside person, and don’t like all these things, then another living room or den will suit you well and give you more space to watch tv, work on the computer, do small crafts that ventilation isn’t an issue, read and just gaze outdoors through 3 panes of glass - then you will be very happy. And for me, the big draw for a sunroom is all the glass for my orchids. As I say, if space allowed, I would have both. You can tell I want folks to think twice before getting rid of their screen porches - once it’s done, it’s done. I have seen a number of people who regretted it or ended up building another porch - the ideal situation is to have both but it’s not in the cards for all. Sure you can raise the windows and open the door but it really isn’t the same. And if you are a creative person or an artist, one final note. A friend of mine was a lifelong artist (a real artist not a want-a-be like me) and she said she couldn’t wait each year to move her easel from her lovely sunroom to the screen porch. She said she could really feel the air all around her, see the plants move, the play of the light as it changed throughout the day, but more importantly, she could smell the flowers, hear the birds, hear the slightest rustling of leaves, hear the squirrel as they ran up the trees, etc. She said it made a a huge difference in her creativity and mood even though she had a rather large gorgeous sunroom but she said she still felt removed. She felt more a part of nature and though she would hate to do without the sunroom because it really was a pleasant winter space, but the porch was like working right out in the garden. I know this is long but I hope it gives folks a few thoughts. Be blessed and enjoy whatever you end up with - porch or sunroom. Both have their benefits.
The material covered was presented clearly - such a great teacher! However too much is missing to make it practical. Measurement for windows, HVAC, and the magical appearance of electrical all beg for explanation.
Better then this old house.... This man is very smart. 100% I guess it's true everything comes with age. Great Vidio. Well spoken a kid can understand.. thank you..
I really liked your video. We are going to be building our home soon we were going to pay to have sun porch builder by builder, but I think we can do ourselves after watching your video. This step by step was great.
Hello Ron, you have made the most amazing video and I thank you wholeheartedly for doing it. You are a very kind and talented person. I am about to embark on my (hopefully) last great adventure and currently selling my 76 acre farm in Australia and looking to purchase a home in country Victoria. I will be a single 69 year old lady when this occurs and have a vision in my mind for a beautiful outdoor room such as the one you have created where I can sit and embroider, stand and paint or simply relax and read. I am a practical person and just love the way you have showed me how to employ the tools and the materials you have chosen to use. I salute you Ron. If you ever need a little holiday in country Victoria, Australia, just let me know!!!!
Hi Ron, We have watched this video several times and I'm sure will watch it many more times to follow your steps and teachings. What is the brand and type of sheetrock nailer?? That nailer looks awesome. Would you mind listing the brands and models of the different nailers, hammer drills, drivers, and other equipment used? Everything seemed to work so efficiently. Do you use an air compressor or just battery operated tools? Thank you! Excellent job! :)
Ron is the best. If you want to learn something, learn from him. He is not just showing you how to do it, he shows you how to do it the right way. I love his videos and enjoy watching everything he did.
You’re a good communicator. Clear, concise and with a pleasant and at ease voice.

Ron, you do really nice work. I like how you do not cut corners and do the job the way work should be done. I'm also impressed that you actually used plywood for the exterior sheathing instead of OSB.
I wish I was married to a guy who could do this stuff! My dad was a builder, and I’m a tiny woman (4’ 9”), but would love to be able to do this myself.
Hahaha...same here, I'm only 2" taller...but, it's the reason why my husband has to make money so we can hire someone who knows what they're doing!!! Lol
I am happy i can do all work on my house myself: plumbing, electric, flooring, roofing, masonry, carpentry.
Only thing I am not good at is plastering. Fortunately i have a bro who is a crack at that.
I'd hate if if i had to 'call a guy' every time i needed something fixed.
I learned a lot from my dad
@@Ed19601 good for you...but the majority of women that watched this video, their husbands are a lot like mine...lol! But it's okay, we just have to be happy and appreciate with what we have!!! Lol😅
@@lucymarion2945 well the drawback is that my wife has a never ending list of jobs that she likes me to do :-)
But it always makes her happy when i do
@@Ed19601 yes...exactly. that's what we want...to give our husbands to do list...and then they'll actually do it...then we are happy. lol. But in our case...husband and I, will make a list...then we give it to someone else to do it!!! Lol, if that makes sense!
I never manage to stay so clean and presentable when I do projects like this.
You know you're a badass when you're doing construction work in business casual attire 8:46
Need a bunch of nice tools to make this job go the way Ron shows it. Excellent instructions!
that is amazing....if I ever get married again, that man better be handy. I'm tired paying an arm and a leg to get anything done. Does your company work in the Kissimmee/Orlando area? great video👍👍
I know I grew up in a house where my grandfather did EVERYTHING I never saw another man come in and fix nothing...but the guys well a lot of them anyway DONT fix ish! I have the same thoughts as you!
they all want us to know how to do house chorea but they can't fix jack😬
NaturallyMeMya RIGHT! I just told my aunt I can't even get a dude to light a pilot light.
dang, that's a shame! they think having a weewee is enough😂. maybe, I need to address that on my channel loll
NaturallyMeMya Dang I need to bring sum of my people yall way all of is handy
Great job on the porch and the video - concise dialog and every shot relevant. Really useful. Thanks muchly.
Just curious, what did you do about HVAC in your 4 seasons room? Did you alter the opening to the main household structure?
Blaine Bugaski yeah this. I was just thinking that too.
And no permits? How about an energy calculation done by an engineer?
you make it look so easy.... wish there was someone close to us who knew how to do it like this with all the attention to details!
fantastic job
Very good useful video thanks. A part 2 on how the wiring was done and HVAC considerations would have been interesting.
About how much did the materials cost for this project? How much additional would it cost for someone else to do it? Thanks.
M C all season room like that size would run you around contractor cost 15-22k
Thank you, Vigorous Old Coot! I need to get a kitty (maintenance) area put together (quick!) and this video is just what the doctor ordered!
Fantastic TEACHER! Wonderful video. Just what we needed to help us be able to afford making our screened in porch into a four season room. Now I am excited to get started. I plan to have my lap top on the job every step of the way! Invaluable resource! Thank you for your kindness in sharing your awesome knowledge! Nick and Nancy Fleece Venice, FL
Thanks for the video! I was wondering if you left your concrete patio as the floor or put another flooring over top?
You can see towards the end he has tile down.
Great job, with great explanations. You are a top notch builder. Thanks for this video!
What nailer are you using? The one that can drive 1,000 nails on a single charge.
Alec Deepz Paslode!!
Lol
Ron you are the Bob Ross of home project's
do you have an idea of what it would cost.
About twice as much as you are thinking it will cost!
@@robsmithozopps2824 as with all home projects. Haha
But twice as cheap if not more if you got someone else to do it
Converted my 3 season room to my office this past year. This video gave me the idea and certainly helped with the project. Thanks!
How about showing how to shim and square the windows?
Modern drop-in windows don't get shimmed or squared. Just check level and fasten.
He built the frames square and ordered custom windows. No need to shim anything.
Ron, very, very nice and I appreciate your sharing; however, to me it’s another room that has to be cleaned, dusted, vacuumed, etc and worry about spilling something on furnishings or scraping a chair across the floor. I’d live to have one (for my orchids) but I still want a large screened porch. With a porch, I can enjoy it as a outdoor room but do all kinds of outdoor projects even when it’s raining or snowing or just plain ole blistering hot. And I don’t worry about sawdust or even if I get a little paint (I can always sand or use paint remover) and I can set up a large cardboard box as a paint enclosure) if it’s too hot to be out in the sun. Because I have a pretty nice vaulted, varnished t&g ceiling, I don’t spray paint large items except in the yard, but small craft projects can be sprayed in the box set on its side. If the power goes out - with my fairly tall vaulted ceiling porch, I can place the generator on the porch in the outer wall. Let’s say we have a snow storm system coming in, at my age it’s tough getting out to the trash can in ice and snow - I can wheel the can up on the deck where all I have to do is open the door, lift the lid, and drop the bag in. It can even be rolled into the porch if the snow is getting too deep or the ice freezes the lid shut. And in the winter, there isn’t any smell. When the weather clears, back to it’s position it goes. The point is there are a whole lot of things I can do on a porch, particularly a screened porch that keeps bugs, leaves, critters, etc off. And you aren’t limited to decoration - my porch has oak antique furniture which includes items like settee, church pew, an 1800s head/foot board soon to be turned into a bench, same period dining table and fodder chopper, along with lots of antique/vintage decorative items. If you keep them clean and rubbed down with orange or walnut oil even the orange furniture wax and buffed out - it keeps it all protected and moisture beads up and is easily wiped off. I have had household wood furniture on my porch for over 20 years. The porch is attached to a large deck on one side and a small one on the other side that allows me to work on my potting bench. Settee and chair cushions can be left all year - my settee, has its same household foam cushions that I put on it 30 yrs ago to go in my living room - but there isn’t any filling etc that would mold, just a dense foam with whatever fabric catches my attention for slip covers - easily changed out. And even better, if starting fresh with cushions, use outdoor foam, and Sunbrella brand fabric. Can even be bleached (check their website for direction) if it meets up with mustard, wine, grape juice, pickled beets, tomato sauce, etc.
But my point is if I have drapes, inside sofa/chairs (interior wood you can’t get to to protect and all the stuffings etc that would stay damp for days and mildew ), interior rugs & flooring and other interior furnishings (lamps, etc) - it becomes a living room - not one that you feel comfortable to cut shelves on, or to sand and paint a chest, or some other project normally done outside. In addition, even if you open the windows, you still can get that fine mist of sawdust etc on all that glass and if doing a lot of projects, endless cleaning. And you will never have the same breezes as with an open screened porch due to all the framing, blocking, sheetrock, etc.
Now all that said - if you are fortunate enough to have the space and money - go for both. Place the four season with HVAC on the warmer side and the screened porch on the shady side. Depending of course where you live and the room’s orientation, remember all that glass, even with a regular roof, can be quite hot and bright in summer - you will need HVAC (certainly AC). But if you orient the room with an South/East , or South/West orientation, in the winter you have a lovely sunroom feel with sun streaming in - even do skylights with blinds in them, or do windows with blinds in between glass panes to control the sun exposure. It gives your plants (think orchids, violets, gardenia, hibiscus and many more that can be house plants) plenty of light in winter. When it’s 10F degrees outside with the wind howling, and you have HVAC, there is no better place than a sun room or greenhouse. If you have a good southern exposure, and the outside temps stay above the 30, the heat will rarely come on until evening. But in the summer when it’s hot, the screen porch on the east side is a delightful place for a cup of coffee, breakfast, dinner, etc but being on the East, the sun is off it by midday and through the afternoon (you can place small ornamental trees out about 20’ from the house to shade the afternoon sun). It really depends on how your house is built, what’s around it, yours or your neighbors trees and a number of other factors. If you can only have a sunroom (a 4 season room), you stay inside most of the time, and you don’t care for plants, then you might not want to place it on the south or west side as the air conditioning might be a little pricey. Use glass that reflects the heat and triple pan windows and doors. Or if your view (or position) demands the south/west side, just make sure you place trees appropriately to shade in the summer and drop their leaves to let the sun in for the winter. Or have thermal backed drapes. It’s amazing how much heat builds up with all that glass. Good luck.
I have lived in my house for 30 years and have had a screened porch for 20 and though in the winter I think how nice a sunroom would be for my plants- giving up my porch that’s works great Spring through fall - I can’t imagine. Even in winter, when it snows, I can walk out in my slippers to get a few minutes of fresh air and feel like I’m out in the snowy air without getting wet or having to pull on gear. It’s great in your jammies super early am hearing the doves just starting to coo or the birds waking up -while having a cup of tea. Even to step on the deck while the hummingbirds eager for their first feed, buzz you or just lean against the interior railing on a drizzly morning hearing them buzz and squeak inches from your head - but you are still dry, no umbrella to disturb them. Or when you can’t sleep in the middle of the night, to have a cup of hot chocolate or tea on the porch listening to the silence and gazing at the moon - still in jammies, no need for shoes or worrying about spiders, bats or mosquitos. It’s not the same in 3 or 4 season room, having had both. Of course if you are an inside person, and don’t like all these things, then another living room or den will suit you well and give you more space to watch tv, work on the computer, do small crafts that ventilation isn’t an issue, read and just gaze outdoors through 3 panes of glass - then you will be very happy. And for me, the big draw for a sunroom is all the glass for my orchids. As I say, if space allowed, I would have both.
You can tell I want folks to think twice before getting rid of their screen porches - once it’s done, it’s done. I have seen a number of people who regretted it or ended up building another porch - the ideal situation is to have both but it’s not in the cards for all. Sure you can raise the windows and open the door but it really isn’t the same. And if you are a creative person or an artist, one final note.
A friend of mine was a lifelong artist (a real artist not a want-a-be like me) and she said she couldn’t wait each year to move her easel from her lovely sunroom to the screen porch. She said she could really feel the air all around her, see the plants move, the play of the light as it changed throughout the day, but more importantly, she could smell the flowers, hear the birds, hear the slightest rustling of leaves, hear the squirrel as they ran up the trees, etc. She said it made a a huge difference in her creativity and mood even though she had a rather large gorgeous sunroom but she said she still felt removed. She felt more a part of nature and though she would hate to do without the sunroom because it really was a pleasant winter space, but the porch was like working right out in the garden.
I know this is long but I hope it gives folks a few thoughts. Be blessed and enjoy whatever you end up with - porch or sunroom. Both have their benefits.
The material covered was presented clearly - such a great teacher! However too much is missing to make it practical. Measurement for windows, HVAC, and the magical appearance of electrical all beg for explanation.
He had an electric outlet in the one of the posts when it was a screen porch. You see it during the demolition.
@@lenpolidori3568 no doubt had power but that important feature was omitted...perhaps for liability's sake.
Better then this old house.... This man is very smart. 100% I guess it's true everything comes with age. Great Vidio. Well spoken a kid can understand.. thank you..
wow!! you are amazing... truely gifted.
I really liked your video. We are going to be building our home soon we were going to pay to have sun porch builder by builder, but I think we can do ourselves after watching your video. This step by step was great.
How much was this project? Just subscribed
Awesome channel
Hello Ron, you have made the most amazing video and I thank you wholeheartedly for doing it. You are a very kind and talented person. I am about to embark on my (hopefully) last great adventure and currently selling my 76 acre farm in Australia and looking to purchase a home in country Victoria. I will be a single 69 year old lady when this occurs and have a vision in my mind for a beautiful outdoor room such as the one you have created where I can sit and embroider, stand and paint or simply relax and read. I am a practical person and just love the way you have showed me how to employ the tools and the materials you have chosen to use. I salute you Ron. If you ever need a little holiday in country Victoria, Australia, just let me know!!!!
Hi Ron, We have watched this video several times and I'm sure will watch it many more times to follow your steps and teachings. What is the brand and type of sheetrock nailer?? That nailer looks awesome. Would you mind listing the brands and models of the different nailers, hammer drills, drivers, and other equipment used? Everything seemed to work so efficiently. Do you use an air compressor or just battery operated tools? Thank you! Excellent job! :)
