Porch Extension

The house here had hail damage on the roof.  My  neighbor was hired to replace the existing asphalt shingle roof with a metal roof.  He hired me to extend the roof and make a porch.  Before I started there was just a gable over the doorway.  I made the trusses because the porch had to be done in 3 days so they could put their new metal roof over it.  I couldn't wait on somebody else to make the trusses so I did it.
I took my sweet time framing the porch because they are leaving all the framing exposed.  It was a nice little roof.  Everything planes fine, the porch is square, the posts are plumb, and the beams are level.
