Front porch work begins


Porches on this place are in pretty bad shape, the decking is shot. & the coble stone foundation has failed in several spots causing the whole thing to slump.


On the right side is one of three bedrooms in each unit, this front room has its own door. Kind of a bad design, as the front door is inches away from this door, & for security, noise & heating reasons having a door to this front bedroom is kind of unappealing. The previous owners solved the problem, by installing sheets of T-111 over the doorways.
I am not sure which is worse idea, The 2nd door or the T-111 wood siding. Since this isn't a trailer park I pulled the T-111 siding off and bricked up the doorway properly.


Removed T-111


Hidden doorway.
