  1. Thanks once more for an enjoyable episode. It’s always inspiring to see projects that are moderately difficult come to completion in a manner that helps me see that I can do it too.

  2. This is absolutely amazing!!! My husband and I are going to start enclosing our existing deck and I have been searching ideas on Pinterest. Watching this has really given me things to consider that I had no clue about. I can only hope that our project turns out half as nice.

  3. I have a question regarding this episode. Which type of screen material would be better, fiberglass or wire screen? I’ll be replacing the existing screen on a porch soon because the fiberglass type has gotten torn over the years. I also have 2 Maine Coon kitties that will be spending time on the porch enjoying it during the warmer months and worried they will easily tear the fiberglass type. Thank you for all the helpful information ya’ll share each week!

    • Hi, Karen!
      We’re always looking for homeowners to call into our radio show and ask questions directly to Danny and Joe. We’ve reviewed your question and shared it with our radio producer.
      Take care. 🙂
