Decided to rip apart the front porch, put in new windows, move the door to the front, and put a cover over the entrance.
Found some massive termite damage on the corner post and apparently my roof had been unsupported for quite sometime and had been sinking. Had to kill all the bugs, jack the roof back up to level and put in a new support post.
