Rebuild a front porch damaged by Hurricane Sally. Old houses always have hidden surprises and this one did not disappoint. Over its long life it has been butchered buy previous homeowners who used whatever was on-hand to make repairs. Photos don't lie. Regular 1/2" plywood covered some of the worst framing I have encountered. 2 x 4's were scabbed onto other joist members as a repair. Nothing was correct. The new porch has been beefed up beyond what was required by the plans. A new roof has been installed on all the house and all that remains to do is pour the walk/ steps, some siding repairs and hand rail.
