Portico


otterine

The portico is one of my favorite additions to the exterior and was completely scratch built. The kit's front door was replaced with a Houseworks Palladian double door. Mike (mesp2k) was generous enough to post his exploded drawing of the portico he made. It helped solidify the method in my mind for how I wanted to build my own. It has a hole in the roof and a horseshoe on the front. I believe the horseshoe has an unlimited supply of good luck and it is hung upside down to shower you with this good luck as you pass under it. Chalk it up to my generally optimistic outlook. The new portico adds a stateliness that the original kit entrance didn't have.

The portico is what sets your house apart from the general kit, though I must admit, I can't look at a Heritage without thinking of this house and how the front "should" be. Love it!
