Caution!

The outside of our house turned into a construction zone yesterday with the arrival of the crew which is going to implement the plans for our new portico, deck, patio, and rescreened porch.


Amazing how quickly the guys tore down what took us so long to build.

We had the front porch rescreened and painted almost as soon as we moved in, way back in 1985. That same year Ben built the deck that fit into the corner. I love this old photo of Ben talking with our old neighbor, Buddy, about the job.


The side porch was added when we put the second story on the house in 1995.

These old projects certainly got their share of use and are in sore need of replacement. I feel no sentiment at seeing them go; just excitement about what is to come.
