Summary: Screened porch plans are essential when determining if the building
department will approve your project. Don't spend hundreds or thousands
of dollars in architect fees before your zoning is approved.

John,
You are welcome. Just use some of my deck and patio-planning columns to
determine how big to make the porch. Then read all of my Screened-Porch
columns to discover many of my secrets.

I am having difficulty finding information for an unusual problem. My house
had a addition built on (we believe) in the 70's, a large living room and
screened porch. While this nearly doubled the useable area of this old
Pennsylvania farmhouse, I have noticed that the screened porch area of the
addition has nearly non-existant support of cinder blocks under what
appears to be adequate deck framing. I would like to winterize this space
and, at the same time, correct the obvious foundation problems. Is this a
problem best left to the professionals, or is there a way to create a
foundation under an pre-existing raised deck.
