Foundation HELP

[dr0591]

I think this is what would be called a pony wall. The bottom 14" would be the same as your foundation, and the top 83 1/8" or whatever would be your usual siding. Just a guess -- I haven't actually done this.

I don't know about your porch problem. Sounds like you might have to resort to.... [ music from Jaws... ] manual roof planes!!

Now that is one suggestion that I never thought off, only because I have never played with pony walls, and from what I have been reading, they scare the living daylights out of me. But since this is only a trial and error house, using every little piece of advice obtained from this forum, tutorials, and the BHG Database, I guess it would hurt to see what results I would get by using a ponywall.
