Rear Porch Repaired






While the roof was being worked on, Ron's carpenters Kurt and Jimmy ("JC") started working on repairing the rear porch.

The porch has been falling apart for a long time. Because of the roof and yankee gutter issues, any time during a rain fall, tons of water would fall off the roof onto the roof of the rear porch, and run down the side of the building.

When JC and Kurt starting removing the rotted wood, they found the entire structure was completely rotted. Ron took careful pictures of the trim, the structure of the roof.

They took the porch apart, and found that where the porch attached to the hosue ... framing in the house was rotted as well. So, first they repaired the timbers, rebuilt the porch, trimmed it out, and replaced the damaged cedar siding with new cedar. The process took about 5 days.
