Construction Update!

Today our porch "grew" some posts!!! Although they are only half done, I am very excited to see some progress, because when the porch is done, the siding can begin. All of our storm windows have been replaced and the windows and doors have all been wrapped, except for those windows in the front in the area of the porch. We are waiting to get the porch finished and the roof on the porch before we complete those last few windows.

Here is a photo of the house from across the street...A close-up of the porch progress. The steps will come down where there isn't any Tyvek on the front of the porch. That is where our existing sidewalk is now.
Here are my posts!! The bottom will be sided to match the house (tan-colored), and the top pole will be covered with plywood in a type of graduated column--larger at the bottom and narrower at the top. That will be wrapped in a white vinyl like the window frames are wrapped in. Then, there will be a white railing between the posts to finish it off.

We are not expecting to see the contractors in the next few days, as we are predicted to get about 5 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow with blowing snow and cold temperatures, so this will be all of the progress we will show for the week.

Keep poor little Andrew in mind, as he is sleeping outside tomorrow night with temperatures predicted at -10 to -15 below zero with windchills around -20 to -30 below zero. UGH! I hope his quinzee is warm inside!
