Tag Archives: front porch tear down

And the demolition continues…

.

It’s been slow going but the tear down of our old front porch is fully underway.

.

.

All the decking has been removed and even though the posts are not load bearing my husband propped up a temporary support .

.

.

In his typical professional fashion.

Sigh.

.

.

Sure.

That looks stable…

🥴

.

Lots of rotted wood had to be removed because there was no j channel under the door, or under any of the porch siding.

He’s trying to keep as much of the old frame as he can. Even if it is a wee bit crooked. Those cement posts are buried 3 feet down and there’s no way we’re moving them.

.

.

Does my husband know what he’s doing?

Not really. Just enough to be dangerous.

That’s what makes it blog worthy.

🥺
