progress
Today the porch substructure was finished, more or less.
I'd been afraid we'd have to take down the porch ceiling, which was the floor for a small family of raccoons, which we hear scrambling and cheeping late at night. I opened up the end of the roof structure today to see what we're dealing with, and as far as I can tell the raccoons moved to the neighbours' side last night. The mother raccoon and I had a long staring match this afternoon - I could see tiny eyes shining behind hers.
