I am considering putting a front porch on my house, It would be a failry straight forward design so I wouldn't expect any surprises for that perspective. However, the house is brick and I'm curious as to whenther it's a bad idea to anchor ledger boards in to brick siding. All the porches that I have ever seen attach directly to the wooden structure of the house with brick put on after the fact. I'm just concerned about the proch structure pulling away from the house (for what ever reason) and pulling the brinck right along with it.
