Blog Cabin 2007: Pleasing Porches

Episode DBLG-111

Porches are the focus in this episode, and DIY host Jason Cameron stops by to lend a hand. First on the list is screening in the back porch, which is something our bloggers specifically asked for. Ceiling fans are also installed on the back porch for those humid summer days. Next, the team moves to the front porch and creates a unique railing with twigs. Finally, Jason and Amy construct a blanket chest for the front porch using reclaimed wood.
