That is a beautiful porch. Love the aesthetics.
Doing this in the spring thanks for the great idea!
I am really in love with This Old House videos at the moment 🔥
Thanks for another good video!
I’m also doing this in the spring. Very clean! Thanks for the idea!
Could you imagine if they aired uncensored versions of TOH? Like when they were hammering in bottom rabbit piece and Tommy just spills out "dont hit mAh facking fingahs there, kid or I'll drop you"

QUE TRABAJO TAN BUENO, LA EXPERIENCIA ES FANTÁSTICA GRACIAS MAESTROS DE LA EXCELENTE CONSTRUCCIÓN
Epic. Thanks so much guys.
I used this technique but ripped a dado in a 4x4 post and made the same trim parts as they show and it worked great. Primed and painted all parts for northern Minnesota weather. Be sure to use Superscreen product. Not cheap but strong.
well done...merry Christmas all
Excellent way to screen in a porch
How do you do the corners? There will be an overlap corner fold, and I presume the dado trim pieces were abutted, not mitered, but that was not shown. Should the sides be trimmed before the top and bottom trim is installed?
Great show. Only thing is you need to put a link to the products you use. Thanks
Nice have this in front n back house
at 1:14 he shows a mockup with 3 2x4s. The mockup would have 2 5/8 of the "tongue" 2x4 visible. I guarantee that is not what they've actually built. What they've built has about an inch of the tongue visible.
Really, you found real 2"x4" wood !?!? I live so far from where you shop at! I can't get any like that, it's always much smmmmaaaalllleeerrr!
Cool
Which season and series is this from? I’d like to see how they framed in the porch!

Oh man. I know they made it look easier than what it is.
If I did all the extra work yall did to screen in a porch, nobody would be able to afford it!
Always easier in the videos
This doesn't add up. He's got that third 2x4 sticking out to create that dato and he calls it a 2x4 on the painted parts already installed and in that little mockup, but that doesn't look like a 2x4, it looks like a 2x2, or is it a 2x4 ripped in half? How did you make the 1 3/4" filler?
I love this look, but with cost of lumber seems like this would be the most expensive way to screen a covered back deck.

Aftermarket screen systems like Screen Tight aren’t cheap either.
Staples rapidly rust, therefore do the screws keep the screen tight ?

I think its more of a temporary fastener because all the dado edges are screwed in place. You can use stainless to help prevent rot
Where is the rest of this build?
Well this is impractical for 99% of us who have splines...

As an amateur observer, wouldn’t it make sense to have used black screws so as to save painting the screw heads?

Just guessing that those screws are stainless steel to prevent rust. Weather resistance is more important than cosmetics, as you say the screw heads can be painted.

Drywall screws? Would have been strong enough. Big reason not to is the need for clearance holes. The frame/rabbet piece needs to be tight against the 2x4, but without a clearance hole or in this case the smooth shank of a wood screw, the piece might not completely sandwich wood against wood. I’m talking about when you use a drywall screw and no clearance hold in the top piece of wood and when you screw it leaves a gap instead of tightly pressing the pieces together. You ideally have clearance holes even with wood screws.

Ken Klose are you dumb? Painted screws ARE rust resistant due to being painted.

5 year warranty, tops. I used to replace screen rooms for a top national company. Anytime we found wood framing it was rotted out and needed total replacement. Don’t ever let these guys do your work.

New England. Rot is slower up here. (I have rot in parts of my porch though. Epoxy is your friend. Die grinder, epoxy, milled cotton flock and cabosil and the wood rot is replaced.)

Question to any experts in the industry which do you think would be better for the homes value? Doing it yourself or hiring a professional? From what I'm seeing it could cost as low as 450$-2885$ Are these figures close to what you guys normally charge or are these outrageous prices or are they too low?
hmm 🤔 different than the older way...or maybe that's just for removeable screens...
This looks like a waste of wood and complicated. I only use ScreenEze System - simple, strong, and self tensioning screen. Best product for screen porches.

That wont take long to rot.
Re-upload video why!!!!
I'm almost certain this is a repeat
Wouldn’t it be easier to just put the screen over everything make it right and staple it because once it gets busted you need to replace it then you have to go through hell just to take the screen out

I love This Old House... But this is absurd. There is no upside whatsoever to doing this "old way". They had a wide open start from scratch to do it any of the SEVERAL newer and better ways. SMH 🤦🏻♂️

Care to share what you would have done instead?
Fiberglass screen is too easily torn. Now this is going to be a pain in the butt to replace. They could have done aluminum channels with spline and just sandwiched the edges between wood.
All cool today, but let's see this all in 5 years somewhere in Florida or Alabama. That small piece is going to be all rotten and crooked, with all surroundings eaten by carpenter bees
I find the way they did this just silly and overly complicated for doing it the "old way".
Was originally uploaded in June ‘19 under another title. Must have run out of material.
This is an old video, I've seen this before, yet shows 5 DEC 2019.....hmmm

If your ever installing screen and not using rubber spline your already doing it wrong
these black paint 2x4 framing look cheap.

And this is considered a "luxury" install over (far superior) aluminum channel screening. Just wait several years as the wood settles with weathering....the screen will get saggy and gaps will open in the wood, paint will chip and scratch. All the cabins done here at state park are starting to look really poor after just a few years. Aluminum is the way to go for screening over this method... though this method shown probably is a better match for historical homes. A lot of colonial/plantation homes are done this way in the South for aesthetics, even if aluminum is superior.

LOL, they're really trying to sell that lumber huh. 3 2x4's for each pillar, jeezus. Not to mention in 5 years the whole thing will be falling apart if made out of wood. Color me unimpressed this old house...
Powuch or porch? Lol love tom silva. And this music ain't it. Change back.
