Wow! What a huge job! We have just finished putting new siding on our house, and in the process, we had to demolish our back porch because it was also becoming rotten and unsafe. We burned most of the wood, saving the good pieces to build a goat shed with.
Good work! Looking forward to seeing how you build your new one! Ill want to see for inspiration! (We havent built ours yet either!)
No problem. We are on our fifth edition of the plans so it has already been a long process. The old wood was pressure treated and painted so I didn't want to burn it. I would have though if it had just been normal wood.
