Framed

On Tuesday, I was delighted to see a big Menards truck pull up to the house with all the building materials for our porch rebuild.  I know many of you thought I should leave the porch open, but we share a driveway with our neighbors.  I thought they wouldn't appreciate sitting on their patio staring at us lounging on ours, so putting up walls was the best idea. 

All the materials got dropped off on the front lawn so our fabulous carpenters could get started with the framing asap.  At the end of Tuesday, we had this:

It was supposed to rain again that night, so everything was piled against the house and covered with tarps.  On Wednesday, some real progress was made, both walls were fully framed out. 

By the end of Wednesday, all the rough framing was done, and all the windows and the new storm door were installed.  

I think Lucius was a little bummed that he couldn't escape by running out the back door anymore. 

Shaun consoled him by taking him out for a supervised outside visit. 

I don't think he appreciated the gesture.   

Now I just have to find a ceiling fan for the porch that doesn't offend my eyeballs.  Have a great weekend!
