A front porch is a place of peace, a place to relax and enjoy life as your neighbors pass by, wave, and even stop in to say “Hello, how are you?”. Without a porch, a house seems bare and just a little less lived in. A porch adds “curb appeal” and a “Well loved” feeling. Without one, well, its just a house.
In this case, the front porch lacked a floor, the posts that supported the roof and ceiling were hanging on by a thread. 2 of the three posts connected to nothing at their base. It was a disaster waiting to happen. So it needed to come down.
The plan is to replace it with the same style and up to today’s standards. Once the hazard was down it will take a while to get it replaced. First the main structure needs to be repaired – keep following our progress. It will happen.
