A Nice Porch

On the scene.  The client contracted DammanWorks to build a new porch.  Design requests included a slightly larger deck, a bench to sit on and set items on when entering, and preferably no handrails.

Demolition day.  Old deteriorated aluminum flashing under threshold.

Rotten rim joist.

Old porch gone.  A clean slate.  Part of the project was to remove old siding and replace with Hardisiding.

Soft soil. Showing forms for two new footings.

Exposed mud sill.  Ready for new flashing before install of new deck sill/plate.

New deck sill through bolted to mud sill.  Drop girder in place for cantilevered deck joists. 

Decking being installed.  Note: a design solution was to drop the overall height of the deck to meet code restrictions for a deck with out handrails.

Stair stringers and treads installed.

Beginning of bench.

Stair detail.

Handrail fabricated and installed.  The footing the stairs are resting on is the height of the new grade.  Finishing touches will require bringing in a 1/2 yard of dirt and mulch.

Pre-grading but porch mostly complete.
