Porch Progress

Rather than make a post for every step along the way I thought I'd show the progression of our porch so far in one post.



My hubby has been doing a fantastic job building our new front porch. Did I ever mention that he designed it as well? As he says, "Not bad for a writer, huh?"





See that gap in the roof? People like to pull over off the street and tell us that part of our roof is missing. I think they're worried that we missed a part - lol! No, that's where the skylight dormer is going to be.




Yesterday Rich built the front steps, and today (as long as the weather holds) he'll install the railings. Maybe Ronan will help out again.
