This poor porch needed a lot more work than we originally thought. We started with repairing the deck, quickly realized we needed to address awful framing rot (and previous repairs). Luckily the client allowed us to do it right, instead of trying to throw a band-aid on a flesh wound. The first floor deck is complete, and we've lifted the roof to allow us to rebuild the second floor deck. The rot in the framing of the deck was bad enough that it had rotted the tops and bottoms of columns around it. Rot is a fungus, it spreads! This house will be on the Church Hill Christmas Tour in a few weeks, good as new.
