The Porch

I was having some difficulties figuring out the porch roof line so made a quick mock-up with some scrap wood to start with. Fortunately, it didn't continue to look quite this rickety.

Having figured out the angles and basic shape, I started on the real thing. The main posts and rafters in the center section are up here.

The posts started as rough fir 4x4's cut by a neighbour down the road. I had to cut them down with the table saw and then plane them. Here's the planer and a corner post.

And, to make this a bit shorter and to skip the somewhat interminable intermediary steps of yet more roofing, here's the semi-finished product. There are still two railing height corner posts and railing to add, and pine paneling will go inside as the porch ceiling.
