When my husband first started tearing down the old porch he hoped to save some of the original frame.

Some of the original wood came off easily, some required gentle coercion.

I’m not quite sure what went on here…

When my husband is working a project, I find it safer not to ask.

New framing meets old.

In jigsaw like pieces apparently.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten has been very curious where all the noise is coming from, so I took him out for a stroll to check the progress.

Naturally he found the old dryer vent hole and had to investigate.
