Well, we had a new granddaughter and I went to Portland and helped my sister, niece and grand-niece move back HOME. I'm so glad to have them here and the granddaughter, well, she's awesome. I'll post some pictures in the next day or two because I have to steal them from my Jacki's Facebook.
But, here's the progress on the house. It's getting pretty darned exciting I must say. This was before they built the deck frame...
And starting the wrap-around porch is 12 ft. deep. We've so far gone through 6 35-lb buckets of deck screws. I just went and picked up 3 and it was $300 for just 3 buckets of screws! Eeeeek!
But I think it will be worth it! Don't you?
I actually went and helped with the deck yesterday - until it got too hot. Today, I can barely move. I know, pathetic.
Yep, I think we'll use that porch!
I found a gal who tears down old houses and barns. She's got a butt load of stuff but I scored a few fun things.
We have baby hummers in the tree in front of the house. This picture was a few weeks ago...
My how they've grown!
More pictures on Monday when they lay the logs on top and put the roof trusses up.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Looking good and that is one big porch ! yes, it will be put to good use. Just sitting out there is the evenings , listening to birds, seeing critters and looking at the view will be so worth allll the headaches. !
