I bought my first house that was a "fixer upper" one of my biggest projects was to fix the front porch that had been allowed to leak for years by the previous owner. I replaced the roof and the decking because of rotten boards. Originally I planned to only fix the problem of the leaky roof and a few rotten deck boards but upon inspection I realized that this project was a lot more in depth. I ended up having to replace everything: roofing, roof decking, rafters, floor joists, and decking. Now I have a front porch space that is great for entertaining or just lounging.
