Created: September 26th, 2024The porch will initially stretch between the two interrupts in the south facing wall that extends just beyond the double door. The outer width of the interrupts being 222cm. Given some degree of overhang in width, some 333cm may be the roof width.
The west edge having steps to the ground. I may later extend the platform east to the edge of the cabin.
The floor of the porch will be a little over 1m and the roof some 1.23m
