One of these porches will become a landing for deck stairs, but for now it works great as a porch pad!
Rake out the stone base to slope away from the house at least 1/8” per foot, so when you set the pad it will also slope away and shed water.
You can get even more creative when it comes to casting leftover concrete - think about future stairs, benches, or footing pads you might need.

ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living in an RV while we complete our home build. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We are on a journey to build our dream homestead, starting with a debt-free, addition-ready garage apartment! We have many plans to build additional structures and infrastructure to support our homestead lifestyle. Join us on this journey!
We upload a YouTube video each week (usually Sunday morning), and post daily on Instagram!
