We found missing mortar all over our foundation! Here's what we did.

We knew the porch needed help — but we didn’t expect this. In this episode, we dig a deep foundation beneath the porch to properly support what’s above it and create a solid, long-lasting foundation. What started as a simple idea quickly turned into something much bigger — and much more important — than we imagined. Along the way, we uncover hidden issues, make careful repairs, and prepare the space for a concrete base and protective brick structure. It may not be the most visible part of the project… but it’s the reason everything else will last. #VictorianRestoration #OldHouseLove #HistoricHomes #PorchRenovation #WomenWhoRenovate #CenturyHome #HomeRestoration
