Master Bedroom Balcony

Jesse took all last week off and we had my mom around to help watch the kids.  So together we tackled the screened in porch.  BTW-it’s been a really really really long time since the two of us have worked on a project together for more than a couple of hours.  As always it can at times be quite a test of your marriage.

Anyways…let’s get to the pictures.

Here was the old balcony from the exterior with the original railings.  The original railings looked like they were made out of scrap pieces of 2x’s.

Here is the balcony now.  We completely tore out the old railings and built in new frames so we could screen it in.  We also used round metal balusters instead of wood.

Here is a shot of Jesse during the work.  It took us 3 days total to get the walls/railing installed and painted/stained, the screens installed, and outdoor carpet installed.

Our kids spent a lot of time outside below us while we worked (they had sitters/family watching them).

Now we just need to furnish it, before we take final pictures from the inside.
