Time to move from the back patio to the front for winter, was 52 this morning. Appreciate all the bands you folks have sent me this year, used them to put a tabletop together for the front.
Oh, the cigars were great too

I'm getting ready to build my basement smoking lounge. We have had snow already in October and yesterday morning it was 23 degrees. Last years winter was nothing and I think we are gonna pay for it this year. It's all planned out and I have wife approval !!!6

Will do. Goal is to have it done by end of November. Your all invited.3

Good God. it was in the 80s here yesterday, but supped to be 60s here tomorrow. Had a couple cooler mornings in the 40s.
Usually I can smoke a cigar inside in my office when it's too cold, but with a baby coming in january, I suppose that's done!LLA - Lancero Lovers of America0 -
The house we bought has a sun porch with 7 windows, a screen door to the deck and a door to the house. The door to the house seals very well and the porch is not heated or cooled. I am trying to figure out the best way possible for ventilation so the wife will let me use it as a lounge for the winter. I have an electric heater I can use out there and the furniture is all porch stuff so it won't retain the smell. There is outdoor carpeting so I am trying to figure out a few thibgs. Plan B is the insulated garage sitting around the kerosene heater.1

It was still in the 90's last week but cooling off in the mornings, was nearly 50 this morning, front porch is a little more protectedrsherman24 said:Winter in Arizona?A little dirt never hurt0 -
Tile it with porcelain tile. Weather won't affect it like ceramic. Use a good thinset with additive and if you are up for it, epoxy groutMikeTodd said:The house we bought has a sun porch with 7 windows, a screen door to the deck and a door to the house.

Seeing that our average temperature come January will be about 72-76, the back patio it shall remain.

Another probably more cost effective method would be luxury vinyl planking or tile. Holds up to moisture very well, easy to install as they make a free floating or glue down version. We put a free floating in a flip house and we paid about $1.29 sq/ft for it. No other materials needed. For ventilation depending on how the porch is setup you could use a bathroom vent or two in the ceiling or some type of fan in the window.matkn293 said:

In my experience, the principal thing wrong with a bathroom vent fan is that they're so blasted noisy. I have super-sensitive hearing, though, so maybe it's just me. The only quiet ones I found were in the $100+ price range....avengethis said:

I'm going with a Panasonic whisper fan ducted directly outside. About $120 but are very quiet and powerful. Use them a lot in my new homes and remodels.1

I've been looking at those for a long time, Albin. What I want to find out is if the Panasonics have a motor that can be speed-controlled so that I can match the CFM to the amount of smoke in my room; if it's just me, I don't think it would need to be going full bore and sucking too much heat out of the room, whereas with another smoker or two, I'd want to crank it. Any ideas?Albinfk said:I'm going with a Panasonic whisper fan ducted directly outside. About $120 but are very quiet and powerful. Use them a lot in my new homes and remodels.

We smoke in the garage with a kerosene heater, but the ventilation is not good and the garage stinks of cigars year round. Also, my new Jeep kinda smells now too because I parked it in there in the summer. One room of the house on that wall must have a crack into the garage because that room smells too, but I bought an Oreck air purifier that seems to do the job.Team O'Donnell FTW!0

Odd. I smoke in my living room and it smells just fine. Must be the higher elevation."Cooking isn't about struggling; It's about pleasure. It's like sǝx, with a wider variety of sauces."

Smoking an Illusione Espernay. It's 45 degrees F out here and raining. Bit of determination on my part, but I did get a nice rainbow.

It means that my hands are cold as hell, but I'm happier than a pig in, well, you know. Had a bit of lightning to stimulate the senses,too.
