Ok, so to be very clear, I’m just the average gob responding and don’t know anything from shinola.

Ok, so the porch should have rebar or something in it to give it structural support to span that gap in the wall. Was it a doorway originally?

Fedora. I’ve been using it since Fedora Core 1 and was mostly RedHat before that. I don’t have time to muck around with my desktop and Fedora almost always just works. I’ve had too many problems with Ubuntu and Suse and friends. And while I like Arch and Debian and others, I just want my desktop to be point and click. My days off tinkering on my desktop are long gone. Kids, house, work, wife, grandkids, other hobbies keep me busy. I save tinkering for my selfhosting adventures.
