I do not have a porch. All my life I've wanted to just go
outside, grab a seat on the porch swing, open my book,
and sip
lemonade. All my life. Since I was a little girl. Gently
rocking
back and forth, till I fall asleep and dream of rolling hills
and
babbling brooks while my book relaxes
on my chest.
This ain't gonna happen, apparently. So while out on my
usual
bike ride today, I noticed that only a handful of folks that
have
actual, perfectly beautiful, wraparound porches, actually
ever
use them. Hence...
Rent My Wraparound was hatched. Just what it says. Rent
that
huge, rustic wraparound porch, with swing and maybe
even a
hammock, to me. Or one of the many like me who were
never
blessed with a house with a ginormous wraparound
porch.
During the weekdays, while everyone is at work, I could
also be
your Amazon package security system. Nestling with the
goods
while I napped the day away.
I think you could probably score $10 or maybe even $25
per
day if you have an extremely cool porch and yard. Or if it
were
a second-floor porch with views of the treetops.
YYYYeeeeesss!!!

you could always have rented one of mine...... [xenzag, Jun 10 2019]

Isn't this against one of the 10 commandments? "thou shalt
not covet thy neighbor's porch" |

|

You should take up horse riding instead, the extra height is
far better for snooping over their hedge on what neighbours
have in their garden as you pass by ;) |
|
| |
A farmer locale to my parents has sort of baked this, they
rent out their indoor pool in a detached building near the
house by the
hour. |
|
| |
[Skewed] you can get tall bikes |
|
| |
[bliss], could your problems not be solved by means of a visit
to a timber yard and a few days' work? Admittedly this would
be challenging if you live in a 5th floor apartment. |
|
| |
Zoning, Landlords, and lack of knowledge and yard space,
dear MB, prevent me from a DIY porch. |
|
| |
Now I feel bad for not sitting on my front porch. Like, never.
It's got a bench and everything. |
|
| |
You're welcome to use mine. Work it out with my wife first
though. "Hey hon, there's this gal on line, at least she says
she's a gal, that wants to come over and sit on our porch.
You
OK with that? Why you getting that frying pan? Gonna make
me some eggs? Oooh goody! Sunny side up please!". |

//Isn't this against one of the 10 commandments? "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's porch" // |
|
| |
One of the poorly printed ones - it should say : Thou shalt not covet they neighbour's pooch. |
|
| |
I'll build a porch on our first cabin for you when you come to visit. |
|
| |
How about a mobile porch? Basically a flatbed trailer
modified to look really porchy. Someone drives up, parks the
trailer right outside your house, and you're good to go. |
|
| |
I like that but why park it? Have one that goes all around the
city so the view would change. Other porches could be
arrayed around yours and others could sit on those porches.
It could be covered as well so you could enjoy the mobile
porch array in any weather. |
|
| |
Oh wait, that's a bus. Never mind. |
|
| |
// How about a mobile porch? // |

Very nice, particularly the 911, but the Ferraris have a higher top speed and the Lamborghini has more headroom. |
|
| |
There's something distinctly fishy about the later models, though - we're thinking specifically of the 911 Turbot ... |
|
| |
If you take a trip to Mackinaw Island you can pay a
tenner to hang out in the famous Grand Hotel front
porch. Great view. |
|
| |
And if you do want to head up that way sometime
over the summer, give me a shout first and we'll
make some plans. You can sleep for free on my in-
law's boat in St. Ignace as long as we are also up
there. |
|
| |
Wow, all these fantastic ideas. I love the mobile porch. So
much so, I wish I had made that the original idea. |
|
| |
"Maxwell's Mobile Porches". Catchy name too. |
|
| |
Thanks for all the generous offers of porching options. I
wish I could afford an RV. I would drive the countryside
and come and loiter on all of your "sort of porches". (Not
worth the trip to the ER though, [doctorremulac3]) |
|
| |
St. Ignace...not heard of that [RayfordSteele] |
|
| |
//"Maxwell's Mobile Porches"// I was thinking more of
Buchanan's Versatile Verandas. |
|
| |
There should actually be a business that has various rooms
and garden segments available as flatbed trailers. |
|
| |
[bliss/ray], just another hour and five minutes northof Mackinac Island is...why not Canada?! We have some amazing porches. We are well known for porches, especially south of North Bay. At the moment, most of our porches are snow-free, which is a bonus. |
|
| |
You could rent a porch with an entire cottage attached; you'll find that quite a few of the porches in Canada's Cottage Country* are actually owned by your compatriots, who are busily renting them out on AirBnB. |
|
| |
<rant>This would be fine, except that the renters think they are pissing and barfing in the middle of unoccupied savage lands, despite the presence of our periscope just over the nearby fence.<end rant> |
|
| |
*Cottage Country is anywhere on a lake, outside of Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver. All other non-lake property is farmland, Moose-infested swamp, ex-Boreal-Forest timber stands logged for export to make US toilet paper, and The Alberta Tar Sands (wholly owned by China). |
|
| |
St. Ignace is the Upper Peninsula side of the
Mackinaw straits. Less pricey than Mackinac Island
or City, but same place. |
|
| |
Grandparents used to have a cabin on Aird Island in
the North Bay of Lake Huron, not far from Spanish.
God I miss that place. |
