1 OFA Dear Colleague letter on Rescinding guidance concerning waiver and expenditure authority under section 1115 of the Social Security Act Published: August 30, 2017. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is committed to helping low-income families transition from welfare to work.
We added a front porch to our house that is 36 feet long and 8 feet 3 inches wide. One thing that I think people tend to overlook - but what some posters have stated - is how much useable space is taken up by porch posts/columns and railings.
This means our useable porch depth is actually 7-1/2 feet. We used a porch design book to help us design our porch which recommends a porch width of not less than 8 feet total for a useful porch. I would think that a 6 foot wide porch is more decorative in nature.
