LIVE! From my porch!

“I was Michael Nesmith's mom.”

“No porch is complete in the rural south with having a lime green vinyl couch on it.

The ones with an old refrigerator on them are really upscale, no walking from the couch to the fridge for a PBR.”

“dont you mean, a great set of limes to go with the drink?

“Smiley, we had a wrap-around porch when I was a kid. Yes, they are just as nice as you'd expect them to be. Question for the peanut gallery: Are a wrap-around porch and a veranda the same thing?”

“Oh, I'm sure Nigal could answer this one!

LS - I didn't think I could go, but maybe I'll change my mind. Check the "other" page.”

“ynami-

I'm gonna go ahead and guess no, they aren't the same. Sounds like a veranda doesn't have to have an entrance to the building its attached to (which would make it pretty silly, IMO).”

“Okay, if a porch is covered, what is the proper term for an uncovered porch? WHatever, the orchids and flowers have taken over my back porch.”

“A deck, I'd think.”

“I guess a poopdeck then, since it's aft.”

“The back of my house faces due North. We don't have a porch but a 14x24 concrete patio. My next door neighbor is building a garage & portico for his front door but we can't see him thru the mountain laurel & trees.”
