These pictures are of our partially constructed back porch.

BUILDING THE FRONT PORCH
PART TWO
The roof is partially on. You can see the famous pulley sticking up out of the roof and the chain hanging down.


Here's a closeup of the magic pulley.


After I take this picture I will go operate the pulley and Doug will guide the panel into place.


Here's a side view


There's the truck which was our work station so we didn't have to deal with the hill and the mud. I'll be planting new grass again soon I guess.

THE NEW FRONT PORCH AND FOYER
PART ONE

The bottom structure is in place and you can see a couple of panels waiting to be installed. Doug decided to use them to insulate the floor of the foyer. I hope they aren't too springy for the tile that's going in there.


This is the glue that creates a seal between the sections of panels, the splines, and the 2x6s that are used for the window framing in the panels.


Here he's digging out a space to put in a 2x6


All cleaned out and ready to go
