The Master Suite Porch takes shape.

Today I put the framing in place to build the porch off the master suite. You might notice the 6x6 post at the base. The reason for it was that we changed our minds as to where we wanted the posts located. Since the concrete sona-tubes were already poured, the 6x6 allows us the luxury of placing the posts anywhere along the length. We decided to go with a 6 foot span between posts after doing a lot of scouting around. Originally we placed the posts so that it wouldn't cut into the view out the patio door. As is usually the case it is better to consider the project as a whole from the outside. To design the exterior of a house from the inside is a contemporary concept which has resulted for the most part in very poor design, as an example the High Ranch, the Spanch, and the McMansion. Ah-Oh,... I think my old house snobbery is showing.Sorry. Soon the deck for the entire back porch will be in place. See you on the porch, you bring the lemon aid and I'll bring some real life old house ghost stories.
