Back Porch-Exit Stage Left

This old back porch was in very bad shape. The decking was rotten and the posts were bowed and bent. Underneath was fenced in with chain link fence and, for some reason, there was a metal trash can hung under the rafters? We are wondering if the makeshift cage was put up in the 80's as a dwelling for the bobcat that inhabited the house and yard.

We still have some cleanup to do on the wall, but will, eventually, put a small deck back out here. Originally, this probably served as the sleeping porch when the house got too warm in the summer. The back window, that is now in the laundry room, was a door at one point. If we ever put a garage on, it will probably be returned to a door, but time will tell on that one.

The rotten back porch is gone and the area is all cleaned up! YEAH! Another eyesore-looking better!
