Porches again . . .

Our contractor started several weeks ago with the back porch, and this week began the front.

I'll show you pictures of the old porches first, then show you what it looks like now.

THE BACK PORCH

At some point, the original porch was replaced by a shed style roof along the back addition.  Our contractors told us that prior to this shed style, the house had a full L shaped porch along the back with a hip roof.

THE FRONT PORCH

Next week, the metal roofing will be installed.  Also, brick columns will support the porches.  The same brick we chose for the fireplace and chimney.  And siding and trim repair!

You can even see our dogwood in bloom!
