I'll have to re-read this a couple of times to understand it, but
thanks for the input! I'll upload a longer view in the morning - I
should have thought of that.

I have some serious rot damage on a 4x6 beam holding up my
front
porch. I'm wondering how you guys would approach repairing
it. It's
easier to see photos than describe so I've uploaded some
photos here:

Spray it with anti-rot.

Hello,
I think you're quite capable of doing the repair. All of the load is
being supported by the beam, the only part that is not supported is
the fascia and *maybe* one joist (the outer most). Just cut off the
bad section back to good wood, attach anything to the end as it will
only be decorative after this, flash and you're done. Of course,
finish it out as you prefer, gutters, flashing, eopxy, whatever.
Good luck,
