This huge porch has a wonderful view of Lake Austin.  It was original to the house which was built in 1962.  The flooring was Astroturf type material and the screening system had failed.  The basic framing members supporting the roof were also questionable.  We removed turf, all the screens and the framing and started over again.  The screens are all installed in a method that makes replacement very easy, new floor tile was installed, and all the framing was replaced with cedar, except for the bottom plates which were treated lumber.  The family can once again enjoy this retreat for reading and relaxing on those wonderful Austin summer days.
