I want to do this right because we will be spending a lot of time in this space and I am a mosquito magnet.
The job would be:
framing and screening an 18ft run
framing and screening and placing a door in an 8 ft run
framing and screening a 12ft run
framing and screening a 15ft run with another door
There are some shear walls already in place that are framed and finished, that's why the numbers don't add up to a rectangle, it is actually 3 walls. The fourth wall is the wall of the guest room and laundry room. Most screened lanais I grew up with in the Midwest (where they are often called "sleeping porches" which tells you what the summers are like) had cross bracing 1/2 way up with regularly spaced upright supports. That is the level of framing I would be interested.
