Our Porch

Before:



After:




Our front porch was a sight to behold when we moved into our house in '07. That was one of the top priorities on our list of "things to re-do." We (Nate) started working on it in April of last year, and finally as of right now, it is 99% completed - we still have a coat of white paint to put on. As with all home projects, it was far more than we planned on, mostly because Nate had such little time to work on it. But with the help of a few guys in our church, he was able to finish it. And I'm very proud of his work. :)


Here's the evolution of our porch if you care:
