Building our front porch, starting August 2012




Jeff and I dediced it is time to start on the front porch which is greatly needed!

The afternoon sun is brutal coming in our three large living room windows and just bringing in the groceries if it is raining is really a job. So, here we go......

Jeff gets started by laying the concrete blocks. We have laid out a 9' x 20' porch. It will have three columns which will be half stone and half square fiberglass column. Then he has to extend out the roof (that will be a job......) and then the porch is done.

We have already purchased stone that we will do ourselves and it will go along the front bottom border of our house and the porch and also on the bottom half of the porch columns. We hope it will look awesome when it is all done - probably next year though !



new beginnings ----




Next in line is the roof as you can see from this picture above. But I have a feeling it won't get started on till winter passes - although you never know. Jeff's new job is causing him to work a lot of weird hours so it may be that he starts the rest in the spring.

Well, see ya'll later on - we'll keep you updated as we go along...........
