House front repairs.

I am very nearly finished, for the moment, with the front of the house.  The repairs to the front of the house required lots of tearing apart, chiseling,out rotted wood, making new pieces including planing to thickness and shaping profiles by hand or with machines, and lots of nailing and screwing parts in.  A lot of measuring of angles, compound angles and guessing what was there before it rotted. All this took place in the 14 feet between the end of the left porch and the small porch on the right [see first  photo below to understand  the area I'm discussing]. The rest of the photos give some idea of what I encountered and the repairs.
