When I first bought the log cabin, I wanted some kind of roof over the steps. I explained to my brother that I wanted some way to get from the house to the garage without being rained on.

He brought me an umbrella.

When we visited Hilton Head Island last time, I saw a house that had solved the problem.

Right at the corner where we turn to get to where we stay, is a new house. It is sort of a combination of Farmhouse and Craftsman style.

The white siding and metal roof details gives it a decided Modern Farmhouse look, at least to me. There are a lot of trees in front of it, so it’s hard to get good photos.

They managed to make a roof too keep you out of the rain from the house to the garage.
