Santa Fe Style Portal Installation
A portal (pronounced port-al not port-ol) is what they call porches in New Mexico, at least when referring to Santa Fe style architecture.
This weekend I helped my friend Rick install a portal along with three other people. He said he needed help with raising one beam and it would take an hour. Riiiiight…
We ended up putting up the whole porch cover and it took about 5 hours. That’s OK, he will be over helping me with my projects.
