The big project of the summer was the front porch.  We're getting ever closer.  We no longer look like Arkansas.  We may yet live to see it through!

«Our very hazardous, rickety front steps.

 

 

After the joists and decking..»

 

    

 

<<On to the ceiling.

 

And then to the siding>>

 

    

 

These old steps have served us well but now it's time to go.>>

   
 

<<The new steps take shape.>>

 

   
 

<<Then the railings.>>

   

 

<<Finally -- the final wall.>>

   

 

<< And it's good by to the house wrap.  Trish says, "Yeah!"

The final touch.  In the spring we'll paint it white.  At this point Trish took over and put in the front walkway and lawn.>>

   

 

 

<<It's amazing how many tons of rock you can sort through and find so not quite what you want.>>

 

 

   

 

But all her hard work and perseverance really paid off.  The front walk way looks great!>>

   

 

<<A bit of decoration.

Trish also did the front lawn.  She planted sand, which has now grown into pebbles and we hope eventually will mature into cobblestone.>>

   

 

<<Before

and

After.>>
