The old porch supports had frozen and thawed and heaved until the old porch floor had pulled away from the cabin. There was a gap wide enough to lose a baby through! Well, a baby cat, anyway. So a week or so ago, Himself and I braced the porch roof, took out the old porch columns and floor and then put new treated lumber back. We kept the roof so that dictated the size of the porch, otherwise it might have been nice to make it another foot or two deep. I had hoped to keep the floor boards but we ended up using 2" treated lumber. This floor will never sag!
