If you're building a porch...
make absolutely sure that the decking boards run from house to rail, NOT parallel to house.

That way you're rocking WITH the grain, not AGAINST it.
Takes MUCH less energy.

2. Before this, I didn't know how to build a porch,
but now that I do, maybe I will.

So, thanks :hi:

6. And if you're building a porch
you'll have shade. That's why they're sometimes better than a deck.

7. Also, follow the old carpenter's adage... Measure twice, cut once. :)
This also goes for cooking too, oddly enough.
