It has been 2 months since my last post. School stuff has been crazy. Lots of homework. Still working on house stuff on the weekends. We have finished the trim around the windows and doors. All the base trim is done except in the pantry and coat closet. Now we are working on the porches. Front and back has a header. The front has to line up w/ the columns and the carpenters that put it in have it out of alingment. So we had to rip most of it out. A do-over!
Grampa and Steve ripping out the framework.
Steve's using the saber saw.
Sat. was beautiful for raking leaves. They had fun filling the garden cart and taking rides in it.
It is frustrating to have to redo something that we paid to have done.
Last Sat. Dad and I did the back porch. It turned out nice, but the weather was cold. Gramps came back today, because the weather is so nice to be working outside and we need to get this done before the snow flies.
We waited for the columns to come in for about 3 months. It was well worth the wait. We just put it up there to see how it looks. Awesome! Next weekend we will set all 3 columns. I'm hoping for warm weather again. The columns and the header need to be painted white, but I'm wondering if this won't happen until spring. The next big indoor project is the fireplace. We ordered the mantel this weekend and I need to pick out tile for the insert.
