Changes! And more Changes

Alrighty so the folling are the changes made after discovering I was only saving about $100 by going the 1X route.

Subfloor
preassure treated 2x8x10 s (20" centers. Yes yes I know its as odd as the 15s but I have used this configuration before and the porch was nearly indestructable)
preassure treated 4x4x10 posts (will also have the roof mounted to them)

Decking and step surface
preassure treated 2x6x10 s

roof
preassure treated 2x6x10 rafters
preassure treated 1x4x10 s across the rafters to nail Tin to.

Rails
preassure treated 2x4s

For much of the rafter and subfloor hanging hardware I will be using SIMPSON Strong-Tie Double Shear Hangers for added support.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
