Improper Bedroom Overhang

Improper Bedroom Overhang

This cantilevered overhang and roof houses a bedroom above the kitchen.  This structure was originally a flat-roofed screened porch, built sometime in the 1930's.  The walls of the porch were not intended to support a structure above, and this cantilever was not made strong enough to extend this far or hold a roof above.  There is evident movement in the floor of the bedroom.
