Prof Kehoe Porch

Joist exchange
Prof. Kehoe had an age old front porch that was falling apart and rotting away.

The floor decking was untreated tongue and groove slats, much like an interior floor.

I stripped the decking off and found floor joists just sitting there unfastened.









Demoed
All the floor joists were cut out and new joists added.
















Exposed walls flashed
I hung aluminum flashing on the lower portion of the house that was unprotected from the weather.















New Joist and Deck
He decided that he wanted treated 2"x4"'s for the floor top decking.
















Deck Style Handrail
Prof. Kehoe decided on a deck style handrail with square cut bannisters.















Finished raw deck
The hand rail was tied into existing posts that was cemented into the stone stairs.















Nail holes filled
Three months later after the treated lumber dried, I filled all the nail holes.















Sanding Hole Fill
A quick sand job on the holes.
















Deck Painted
The porch was painted to the homeowner's liking.
