A Few Miner Adjustments

The Front Porch Project

A Sneak Peak

Good ideas do not always come out of thin air.  

Many hours are spent brainstorming, talking, and then heading to Pinterest to find the exact picture of what you want something to look like.

This is our front porch inspiration...

Pretty, huh?

This porch project has taken a long time.

I have stained 40 floor boards, 4 times each.

Let’s do the math….that is 160 coats of stain.

Thank goodness for my iphone music amplified in a plastic bowl.

The garage has great acoustics.

Matt has worked for countless hours ripping up floor boards…

moving dirt and rocks….

...then putting it all back together.

 Our To Do list still includes:

          Finish installing molding on posts

          Paint railings and molding

          One more coat of stain on the decking to fix any scrapes

          Put on stair railing

Hang the shutters back up

          Plant grass and bushes

          Decorate

Typing that list makes it seem like there is still a ton left to do.

I won’t lie. There is.

But this image is all the motivation we need to get this project finished.

I can barely contain my excitement for this new porch!

Soon my friends…soon.
