My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What supports the wooden structure over the entryway?

7 years ago
I don't see the 2X4 supports going 2/3 way back into the house structure as is needed for a typical cantilevered structure. So, I would expect wires or metal pipes to hold up the structure. Don't see any supports. What keeps this structure hanging?
