A lot of work has been done since the last blog entry. They finished the back porch. They still need to build the cover for the back porch, but that will be done later.
They also tore out the front steps and started to build the front porch. Life will be challenging for any door-to-door salesperson that comes to our house.
They put a sign on the front screen to remind us not to use the front door.
They started to drywall the garage.
They started adding the railing to our back porch.
This is a different view of the back porch. You can see that the railing is missing from the far left side next to the house. It either hasn't been installed yet or they are going to put in a zip line. I think a zip line would be fun.
They installed the rest of the decking on the porch today. They also installed more posts for the railing.
They also installed most of the decking on the landing. There are a couple of boards at the edge that need to be installed.
They did a little work on our back porch today. The changes I saw were diagonal bracing, a little decking, and another post by the stairs.
They put the tread and risers on the steps to our back porch.
This is the top part of the steps.
We still need the deck for the landing.
They continued building our back porch. They added three of the columns to support the covering we will have on the back porch.
They finished framing the stairs today.
They also added some decking to the porch. They put a board under the back door that prevents it from opening. They may have done that to prevent us from going out on the back porch before it is safe, or they may have put the board there to get it out of the way.
They continued working on our back porch today. They framed the top part of the stairs.
This is a view from the back door. It won't be long before we can use our back door again.
