I can't come out Saturday, as I'm giving presentations at the Mother Earth Fair in Pennsylvania.

For digging under the porch, how are your boards attached? Any chance they are screwed down instead of nailed? I seem to remember it's old-school farm-house, so probably nailed and painted over with lead paint. If possible, it sure would be easier with a few boards removed.

I did my porch with stainless steel screws and a stain finish, so that the boards are removable.
