Once the waterproofing was done and the trench was backfilled, the guys got to work replacing our old front porch. You can see from the picture below how badly the brick was crumbling behind the stairs.
They tore down the old porch, leaving us with a nice big hole leading directing into our basement.
Finally, they rebuilt the porch with new cinder blocks, including a space for the new window.
The next step is parging the inside of the cold storage room and facing the new porch with faux stone.

Wow, pretty amazing to see the condition of the old brick. Any thoughts on keeping one as evidence? Doorstop? Paperweight? Though to be honest, your blog does such a great job of documenting your progress that you may not need to. :)
Wowsers. That is quite a project! I agree keeping an old brick would be neat.
Who knew some little ants could lead to such a big project? Looks great though. I'm jealous of your cold storage!
