The only explanation I can come up with is that the porch jumped off the house right behind the van as I was turning around...and the weight and size of my van was just a bit sturdier than the POS porch that had been previously attached to their trailer...

"I did not run into your !@#$$%#*@#(&^(&#(&(*&...(breath)...&#%^%@*(&*%@ porch!!"

Oh, well...thanks to Parker and Bob for helping me break out the tools the next afternoon and rebuild the porch, and then reattach it to the trailer.

I can honestly say that the porch is much better shape now than it was before it jumped off the house and threw itself under my van.

If I were that porch, I would throw myself under a van, too.

Fish on...
