Polly's Power-PR

PR  is about telling stories and story opportunities are everywhere, even in your own backyard. Kay and Tom Horst enjoy outdoor living year-round on their new screened-in porch, created by Michael Sauri of TriVistaUSA and featured on Bob Vila's Website The Horst's porch is slide #6 of 13 porches showcased on the site of home improvement and remodeling guru Bob Vila. The new porch, which adds 330 square feet of living space to the house, sits on top of the framing of an old two-level deck. The porch roof spreads outward and upward like the wing of a butterfly, creating a high ceiling for air flow, aided by two exterior-grade ceiling fans. Sauri used a "cricket," a saddle-shaped projection in the middle of the roof, to shoot rain water into up-sized gutters on the sides. With the new roof, the Horsts can enjoy the vista of the woods bordering their property.
