Front porch in place


As you can see from the picture, the front porch roof is a very simple shed design. The size of the front porch was limited based on county imposed set backs from the septic field (the far right post is the closest I could extend the front porch). The shed design is not only very affordable, it also simplifies flashing requirements and water collection for future landscaping. Unfortunately, the community I am building in denied my requests for using a metal roof on the main part of the house, but does allow metal roofing for the front porch. It is a bit confusing as it is the front porch roof that is by far the most visible. The windows finally arrived after a significant delay. I will share more about the windows in the next post.
