Decision About the Front Porch Foundation
In “Porch Foundation – An Upcoming Challenge“, I showed you the poor condition of that foundation. Like the rest of the house, it’s brick. We discussed all the options we could think of but decided to reuse what we had – bricks!
It was the most economical solution because only a bag of concrete had to be purchased. We also agreed that it would look better than other options because it would be consistent with the rest of the house. I think it turned out pretty good. He reused the vents too.
It was impossible to match the color of the old mortar, which was white, aged over the years. Dan lamented over that, but I think that once the porch is finished, the actual brickwork will not be what catches the eye, it will be the front door, windows, and color, plus all the plantings in my herb and flower beds.
Dan is self taught (with the help of a couple of books and Youtube. What can you not find on Youtube?) and I think he did a very nice job.
One question he was able to answer was what they used for a footer. It turned out to be brick too,
So the first step toward reconstruction has been taken. The next step will be the floor framing.
