Two weeks ago, we poured a concrete porch 8' X 12' X 2' high with a 5' wide concrete ramp. The forms were built up to the slab level at the front entrance to a log building used for church services. Total cost: $700 and much labor.
The water in the building after the rain confirms that the porch is too high and/or the slope away from the door is inadequate.
Here is a pic of the entrance before the porch was poured:
The options that I can see: Build a roof over the porch to keep the porch dry. Break up the top of the porch and repour it lower. Build up the threshold and hope no one trips over it. Chisel a gutter in the porch along the building to channel water.
We want a solution that is safe, cheap, and easy on our backs if possible. What are our best options? Is there a solution I missed?
