one gas-driven concrete saw (Target being the mfr of choice--makes lots of

(if it hasn't happened already) the concrete will crack along these grooves,
water will get in, freeze/thaw will take place, widening the cracks,
improving the drainage... :-)

All ragging aside, Sharpshooter, will you restate your problem (your porch
drainage problem, I mean). The idea of drilling holes to drain the thing
just doesn't sound right. Especially when they fill with water in the winter
and freeze.
