Live and Learn - Front Porch Update

Front Porch Update

Well, my lovely front porch is not yet finished, but it now EXISTS! We are Tyvek-ed and sporting a new roof and well sealed up for the winter months. The porch still needs railings and stairs and pretty posts and a ceiling and lights, but its coming along! My husband has to get back to the PAYING work now, so I may try to talk him into teaching ME to put up the railings. Granted, it will take 10 times as long and not be as precise, but I will LEARN! And after all, we homeschoolers are all about the learnin' lifestyle.

So, I just have to post an in progress photo!

Here's my rather shabby looking classic milltown 1936 house this past July:

And now...with a new porch, new siding, new roof, some new windows (not pictured) and a TRASHED front yard

So now I need some great suggestions from all you folks out there who are highly skilled in landscaping!

The house looks fabulous! I love the before and after pics!

You asked about putting music on your blog. Click on my sidebar where it says john's christian music codes and it has the HTML codes for just a ton of songs. You just copy the code and paste it in your template and it will play music on your blog for you. If you need to know how to get into your template, let me know and I'll walk you through it. What's playing is by Shawn Mcdonald and it's called Take my hand.
