The plan was to make a prettier overhang that goes with the house, allows the screen door (we bought at auction for $15!) to open, and is more symmetrical with respect to the door.
Obviously, we've been putting this job off. It didn't sound real exciting and it sucks to cut into a roof. So we decided to actually hire help - a local guy who had good references, was willing to have us help, and was really nice to work with. He also totally appreciated the mid-morning iced coffee & donuts, so we like that.
It's amazing what you can get done with hired help! A total jump start...he's done here, having only billed us for a few hours, and we will finish the rest out all bungalow-y. Maybe we can get off our arses and get it done-ish this weekend?

wow, that looks awesome! We found evidence that our house used to have something very similar at some point in time-probably torn off when they added aluminum siding. Very inspiring. Guess something else to add to our to-do list.

There are times that we can fixed our home problem on our own, but it is better if we can hire a true carpenter to repair our house.
