Just redoing the front porch - ~5'x6'wide. *It's only ~3' high and there
are cement steps. *It's rotted all to hell, but my only question is what's
the common wisdom on attaching a ledger to the foundation (really hard -
poured in 1954). *The 2x6 that's there is only nailed - and those nails are
*badly* rusted - some right through.

I bought some 6" galv. lag bolts (3/8) and planned on using lag shields. *I
have since done some looking and people seem to be weary of them.
