Buckle Up
I guess this is one of the things that happens when my fair city of Winston-Salem actually gets enough snow that it accumulates on the porch: all the moisture in it (as it melted) managed to wreak a little havoc on the floorboards of the front porch. This was always a terrible problem just from rains with the side of the porch where the parking area is, because it was uncovered and it was wooden. That's why I had it restored to a concrete platform, as seen in this earlier blog post.
Now that buckling problem is showing up elsewhere, I'll be adding this to my to-do list. What is it they say about old houses? The work is never done. But I'll keep slogging away at it.
