Front shot of the porch I would like to turn into a mud room. Note the nice flower boxes on either side, and the nice cracked slab.
This is the base of the metal column that is supporting the roof.
Top of the colum dissapears into the roof some where, my only thought is it is resting comfortably under the joist.
Side shot of the front porch, notice the roof slope and the new roof!!
crack in the slab goes all the way through to the ground underneath.
This is a straigh on shot on the alignment of the porch roof currently and the flower bed, notice that the side of the roof does not match up with the side wall of the flower bed, bummer.
Onto the back patio area. More of the wonderfull siding and cracking slab.
a side shot of the patio area, I estimated that I would demo the entire thing and start fresh since there is very little that can be salvaged off this.
This is how they attached the joists for the patio to the house, cut the metal siding and nail in the metal retainers.
This is a shot of the roof system. There are gutters from the roof above that catch the water and nothing spills onto the roof of the patio. Since the roof slope on the patio would be so minimal, what is a good drainage plan?
