Front porch

The progress on the porch has been very slow because of the weather.  They left early Friday as it was raining &, of course, did not work over the weekend. Monday it down poured the entire day!  Yesterday morning we had a little freezing rain but they were at the house by 7:00am anyway. When I left for work at lunch time this is what it looked.....yeah! These guys are good.....they are building what's been floating around in my brain for the last 5 years! Love Val💖

Porch - end of day 3

Okay so we have a roof but no ceiling We have a floor😛but be very careful where you step Yes that's my car in the driveway for the second straight day!  There's still no room for it in the garage Oh yes & the furniture showed up today so it's getting a little crowded around here! Love Val💖

Day two

 It doesn't look like much but they got a lot of work done today  At least I can get an idea of how big it will be  The decking is cedar which is being polyurethaned ahead so it gets treated on all sides Love Val💖

My long awaited project

Popster tells everyone that I stay awake at night dreaming up projects which may or may not be true.  Any how for a few years now I have been bugging him about putting a front porch on our house.  A couple years ago someone on a street near us where we walk added a porch which made me become even more convinced it would really change our house for the better.  Last December he came home one day & told me to check out a different house in our neighborhood who were also putting a front porch on.  He wanted to know if that was what I had in mind.  I was over there before he finished his sentence & was calling him saying YES that's it!  We finalized all the plans & signed a contract in January but, of course, the weather turned bad & so they weren't going to do it until March 1st.  Then we had all the snow so the job get getting pushed back.

My long winter break has ended

My long winter hiatus is over & it's back to work I go.  It's 23F this morning but I have to be there by 8:00am to answer the phone because the golfers are going stir crazy & at this point just want to play no matter what.  Hopefully, it will warm up some if we see the sun.  This has definitely been the longest winter ever. I recorded LiLi playing with Popster last night & in the first video notice her sleeves......they eventually got in the way which is why she stopped😜 She's on a new kick with always ordering a burger when she goes out to eat so  we will now call her the "Burger Queen"!   I cannot resize this picture as blogger is giving me fits on uploading photos & this is the best I can do until I figure out what's going on!
