1 OFA Dear Colleague letter on Rescinding guidance concerning waiver and expenditure authority under section 1115 of the Social Security Act Published: August 30, 2017. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is committed to helping low-income families transition from welfare to work.
We added a front porch to our house that is 36 feet long and 8 feet 3 inches wide. One thing that I think people tend to overlook - but what some posters have stated - is how much useable space is taken up by porch posts/columns and railings.
There are building code requirements for a porch: In the USA, if your porch floor is less than 30 inches high from the ground, a porch railing is NOT required by code. In Canada the maximum height from the ground is 24 inches. If your porch floor is over the heights stated, the code requires a balustrade â porch railing.
