Front porch addition with painted (treated lumber) handrail and columns.
Photo: Photo taken Summer 2010
Built the porch addition over an existing concrete slab with enclosed ceiling and added decorative posts with turned spindles and handrails, then painted to match the house trim. In all, the project costs ran $3900 for material, and took roughly 300 man-hours, and 8 cases of beer to build.

Contest Details
Update: Congratulations to our winner Fred Eche, who took home the prize with his Ginerbread House.
*Contest is closed.
Beginning August 16 and running through September 29, Fine Homebuilding readers can submit photos of their favorite exterior trim details for a chance to win the new Senco Fusion cordless nailer.
We’re in search of those crowns, casings, and columns that separate the instant classics from the cookie-cutter homes. It may be a carefully reproduced railing on a historic home, or it could be the subtle proportions on those new widow casings that make the front of the house pop.
Contest ended on September 29, 2010.
Winners were announced on October 8, 2010.
