Arggggg... my neighbors are apparently enclosing the normally 'outdoor/open' space under their porch.. they've been out there since about 7-8am.


first of all, what happens to the water on the deck?

Second of all, IT'S FSCKING THANKSGIVING MORNING

Eclosing to make a living space? With heat and drywall?

I'm going to be doing something like this, but not with heat and drywall next year to my deck to use as a sort of shed for a riding mower.

Home Depot has a whole system to do just this. BTW-it's called their "underdeck system."

7 AM? Call the HOA nazis.

Look at the bright side, you'll be looking at a more aesthetically pleasing porch when they're done.

They're probably doing it this morning because they had family over to help. Used to be every Thanksgiving my brothers and I would help my dad split and stack wood for the fireplace.

You nail some tin to the underside of the deck on a slight angle. The water drains at the side or preferably into a little collector and away from the foundation so you don't get water pooling in one place.
