Newest (Huge) Project
rleete:
Well, the porch project is mostly done now. The basic structure is complete and usable. Final picture:
There's still some painting to be done, and I have to rehang the shutters. I also have yet to hook up the outside faucet to the plumbing, and plan to install some covered electrical outlets. Where you see the wooden beam underneath the step has been dug out (by hand!) for a poured concrete pad. After digging - which left me feeling nearly crippled - I came down with a nasty case of bronchitis, which has kept me from doing much more than lying in bed for the past week or so. From the pad will be a sidewalk extending to the driveway. After that it's on to fixing the yard, planting some flowers and making it look more presentable. Porch furniture (another bite out of the wallet!) was ordered last week, and we expect it to be delivered any day now. It's white wicker looking resin, which is supposed to stand up to the elements.
If any of you happen to be in the upstate NY area, feel free to stop over and enjoy a cold one with me!

It looks as if you did a good job of finding roof shingles to match. That can be the hardest part of an addition.

Well now I guess I'll just have to invite myself one of these days for a cold one. Keep that calendar open. :ddb:

Kvom, roof was done just shy of 2 years ago. So, same brand, style and color match were no problem. I actually specified it all on the drawing.
Bernd, any time.
