Option 2 might have worked if you had the budget and room to expand the front stoop and stairs and it was made a bit wider to accommodate the support brackets. But if you did that, you might as well build a porch!<br /><br />The total lack of roof overhang makes me think that this is a minimal traditional from the 1930s, not a Craftsman. But the added Craftsman details work well without taking it too far.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-77641763351493283862014-05-06T18:44:12.569-04:002014-05-06T18:44:12.569-04:00Couldn't you have built the overhang across th...Couldn't you have built the overhang across the entire front?
