New Porch Pictures

Well here are the long awaited porch pictures. Enjoy!


The "new" porch


The room seems bigger with the high ceiling


The children's corner


The windows provides a gorgeous view of our back yard


The spacious room


The beautifully hand carved cabinets made by a great carpenter and friend


A touch of home


Each leaf on the molding was hand painted by a joint effort of our family and a friend. What fun! :)

Next Chapter on the Porch

Our friends, Mr. Ted and his son Trent came over to put up drywall. They got a lot done in one day.




This is their dandy tool to help hold the drywall to the celling.


One end of the porch...
