We have made quite a bit of progress on the porch in the last week or so.  The roof joists went in today.  There are a pair of Veluxes in the front of the porch roof. 

The porch extends with a canopy that covers the front door.  However, we won’t be able to finish this until the scaffolding is removed.  And we can’t do that until the main roof is finished – probably in about a week’s time.

The stone in the porch needs to be sand-blasted before it can be pointed.  At which point, it should be a pretty close match to the existing property.

The roof finally went on the porch today.  This is Andy the Joiner doing a fine impression of a tank commander while have a cup of coffee!

This oak half truss supports the canopy over the front door.  This has been assembled on the ground to sort out the overall measurements.
