The original porch was an open air porch that was supported on the,outside corners by brick columns. There was a brick knee wall that surrounded the whole porch except on the south end (driveway side) which was open to allow for a stair case. We'have evidence of all this from an original picture in the.form of a postcard that was provided by the home owner. At some point in time the brick support columns have been removed and have been replaced with 2x4 lumber outside corners (similar to what would be on a typical lumber framed wall). The brick knee wall has also been removed and replaced by a wooded frame knee wall. All of the lumber was then covered with cedar shake shingles. At some point after that the porch was then closed off completely with windows and doors and then covered with aluminum siding and vertical soffit. The inside was finished with drywall and plaster which is now the current state of the porch. The homeowner would like to return the porch to its cedar shake shingle state with a few small changes. Interior: Remove all of the drywall and insulation. The original ceiling is on top of the ceiling joists and it is porch ceiling bead board. With the removal of the drywall the original ceiling joists and the bead board ceiling will be exposed. The structural integrity will be checked at this time, any rotten wood will be fixed and replaced as needed. With that the ceiling joists and bead board will the be cleaned up, patched, sanded and will be ready to paint.
