Gorgeous porches! When we had our house built I asked for a wrap-around porch. Well I got it, but the first time we sat down on the bench we realized the porch rail was right at eye level and we could see nothing but that darn rail. And even worse, the porch was barley deep enough for us to sit, but no one could walk past. What a huge disappointment. We never use it.
