Front Porch

  We have started on the front porch, here Albert is putting up the ledger board on which the floor joists will hang.

 Below photo shows the joists installed

 And then the step foundation.

 The porch floor boards are a new man made product called Azec.  It comes in several colors and will never need any maintenance or painting. We chose a similar mud brown to match the same paint as the back porch.

 Now up goes the roof.  We kept the same look as the original porch, but instead of just the one peak, we went for a hip roof.

 Below you can see the rafters framed up.

 End of the day shadows.
