The weekend of Dec 6-7, I started work on framing the porch. I picked up a load of lumber from Storey Lumber Co. and started laying out the "timber framing".
After cutting the 4x4s to correct length, I set up the miter saw to mill out a 3/4 inch deep notch for the headers.
Then I set up a jig to cut the bottom jacks and cripples.
I managed to get the floor sills nailed down and one wall laid out and mostly nailed together before I ran out of weekend.
