Olson you are right - I don't see porches trimmed that way anymore but I remember them. I LOVE this idea because, as you mention, it is the outside ends that suffer the most from rot problems.
If only I could figure out how to apply this method on the round corner of the wrap around porch. Hmm... Is it possible?
