Bye bye, porch.

Well, the old porch has gone to porch heaven and the new one should begin to take shape very soon. The concrete slab was jackhammered to break it all up, and then a Bobcat scooped everything out and into the dumpster. It's a bittersweet part in this remodel process since the porch was original and we had a hard time agreeing to get rid of something that existed when Teddy Roosevelt was president. In the end, though, it just had too much structural damage and the new porch will be much safer (and easier on the eyes.) We have saved some of the original brick, though, and will eventually incorporate them into some landscaping.

Lucky's Fence


My handyman husband has proven his skills once again with this awesome fence! This section lines the back of our property. Just creating the pathway to put the fence in was almost as much work as building the fence itself, but after some hard labor and two fairly intense encounters with poison ivy - Lucky did this all by himself! The rest of the fence will go in over the new few weeks.
Thank you for all of the support as we went through the process of remodeling our home! Enjoy the pictures of the final project. Be sure to click on "older posts" to see all of the posts I've added since the project was completed.
