Front Porch

The front porch construction has begun. The contractors had to first explore the house face and decide if it could hold up the porch. They decided it couldn't and rebuilt it. The cut out all of the old pole/log cabin construction. 

Here you can see three different roof lines.

Here is an old attic access panel.

Here is some of the pole/log construction being exposed.

Here is the north side fully opened up. The contractors reframed the entire attic area and even flattened the face of the house. It was very undulating previously.

Here are the posts for the porch standing tall.

Here is the roof of the porch outlined. We were going to do a hip roof, but the framing was too complicated so we decided to do a gable roof. This turns out to be great because we obscure the house even more and get extra storage in the attic!

Here is a cardboard study of an additional window for the porch.

Here is a 3D sketch of what the porch might eventually look like.

Most of the porch framing is done. Yay!
