Porch

I want to put a deck/porch on the front of my house. It's a bungalow style. I want to make it the full length of the house and 5 ft wide. My hubby thinks it will look stupid without a roof out over it. Does anyone have any pics of something like this for ideas? Thanks

    My husband built me a 24 X8' porch that runs the length of the front of the house. It has a pergola over it, with lattice on top. It doesn't block the light, but it dresses up the front beautifully, and gives it the look of being covered. Because of the snow load, it has 2 X 6' boards on edge under the lattice.

    Can you share a photo of your home Connie? That could help us find homes similar to yours.
