Porch Remodel

This was at one time a functioning screened-in
porch. However, it was very poorly constructed and had
begun to rot from the bottom, up. The porch had no
real foundation. It was only supported by a handful of
untreated 2x4's that sat on a thin layer of
concrete that had been poured on top of the ground. Needless
to say, the foundation was a little shaky and a little rotten. The
screen frames had all rotted and the decking was not
far behind.

In the photo below you can see I decided to save the roof of
the porch, which had brand new
roofing on top. Apparently, there had been a tree
next to the porch when it was built, and
the porch had a cut-out section that likely fit around
the tree. I decided to restructure the roof and the deck to
include this lost space.

Here are a couple photos of the final project. As you can see
the porch is complete with a reconfigured roof
and floor plan, two entrances, and a gutter to finish
everything off. It is now a much more functional space, and
a much more durable and aesthetically pleasing space.
