Just redoing the front porch - ~5'x6'wide. It's only ~3' high and there are cement steps. It's rotted all to hell, but my only question is what's the common wisdom on attaching a ledger to the foundation (really hard - poured in 1954). The 2x6 that's there is only nailed - and those nails are
*badly* rusted - some right through.I bought some 6" galv. lag bolts (3/8) and planned on using lag shields. I have since done some looking and people seem to be weary of them.
