   Wow!!! I can imagine what the rest of the inside of your home must look like!!! I don't think you should be apologizing for putting up your porch on this web page, the craftsmanship is simply outstanding. The only thing missing is several nice chairs to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

   Beautiful front porch, fantastic details. I was wondering if you would share the color of the siding.

   Enjoy !

   Woodsmith56,

   I used an oil based semi-transparent outdoor stain, Sherwin-Williams Yankee Barn. There's probably five or six coats on it by now. Two initially then a fresh coat about every two to three years. The only problem I've experienced is that oil based outdoor finishes down here in FL are susceptible to mildew staining. We frequently have 100% humidity in the summertime. So I have a mildewcide added which so far has worked very well.

   Hope this helps.

   Amazing detail! There’s a porch with character. In fact, looks like the whole house has a lot of it. Great job on the porch and the mail box. Thanks for the post.
