The porch roof

Here are pictures of the porch roof going in place the rafters for the porch roof are 4 by 6 and the boys cut a design into the end of each one. It took a bit of time but the effect is definitely worth it.


John looking all happy with his work. Good work John.


Here is a better picture of the porch roof. Tim from Blanco came over to check it out so we snapped a picture of him on the roof too. Hi, there Tim.


Here is what it looks from underneath with the planking. we wanted to do it in planking instead of OSB so that the nails and anchors we use for the roofing material won't come through.


Here is another view. See how the porch roof changes the look of the building giving it quite a bit more character.

Looks cool, Chad, much better then my little cabin project. Hope it is a big blessing in your expanded home here.

I love the color of that roof! It’s light, which gives the cabin a very warm feeling. Well, it’s been more than four years since this project; I hope your roof withstood the weather over the last couple of years. Hope you’re doing well, Chad and Leila!
