Another week of progress. There are some big things that happened this week, but as with most weeks, the work was in the details. There are so many details that happen to complete each piece and part of this construction plan--more than the unfamiliar can imagine. But that is where the craftsmanship of the workers is shining.
 |
| The old doors were removed. Luckily it was on a warmer day and we weren't cold from chilly air. The cats didn't get to see any of the action because they spent the day locked up in the basement so they would not become escape cats. |
 |
| The new doors look much like the old doors... |
 |
| Except they have no rotten wood or rust. |
 |
The most exciting thing this week was the installation of the floor with Aratis porch flooring which is a composite made from PVC materials. Miss Landers and I think it's big enough and solid enough to use as a stage or have a square dance. I told Ward that any furniture for the porch would have to be easily movable so we could have a show or a dance. He was politely quiet. We were just kidding
(maybe 😉). |
 |
| But don't you think that has the makings of a stage? |
 |
| Along with the floor, the steps also got treads installed. |
 |
| And more dirt was put around the landing. |
 |
| The electrician was on another job most of the week, but he did install a couple of outlets. |
 |
| And started the installation of a new subpanel in the basement. Besides wiring for the porch, we plan to use some of the spaces in the new subpanel when we update the kitchen. |
 |
| Also, there was a lot more trim work added this week. |
Until next time...
