the project is going to be a long one, for Bob, Betty
The overhang will be about 4 ft, and 18 ft long.
OH, and he's brought home 4 cedar "logs" about 2ft diameter, and 8ft high. He's going to use 3 of them as support posts for the overhang - one on each end, and one in the middle.
Here's what the outside wall looks like now.....
1st one is the panel by the door and other side is our porch - outside
2nd one is the panel next to it (outside of the den) - it's so spongy that you could put your fist through..
3rd one is the bottom of the wall - see how the shavings are at the bottom? it's so thin it's peeled.
4th one is where the join is, 3 ft into the den, the wall where Bob's computer is plugged in.

I know I've been nagging him, but we Really Really Really need to get this fixed. Besides the electrical hazard, there's always the mold issue.
This is going to be a very big job, but he's going to do it by himself. We can't afford to pay for any help, and he'd have to spend 1/2 the time showing them what to do...... He hasn't asked Bob D. to help, cuz he'd want to get paid, as he pays my Bob when he helps Bob D.
