The end is getting very near on the porch construction. The roof passed inspection (yay) and I think all that needs to be done is for the inside facia board to be hung, and the ceiling and rails need to be installed for the final inspection.
David and his chocolate lab, Fannie came by yesterday to do some work. Fannie comes every day with David. I think she is the job supervisor. She is a very sweet girl and loves McDonald's French Fries. She goes everywhere with David and all the bank tellers and other casheirs from the various drive-through know her.
Tom (in the white t-shirt and shorts) and David spent a great deal of time cutting a portion of the rail for the stairs. The angle changed because the stairs are different than they were.
Here they are checking the angle to see what they need to do. We are re-using all the posts and rails from the original porch and we did have to purchase a few more posts and will have to add some new railings since we increased the depth of the porch by 4 feet.
All that worked tuckered Fannie out, and she decided to stretch out and take a little nap.
Tom and I sanded and primed all the railings today. We wanted to get the finish coat of paint on them as well, but we ran out of daylight and energy! We will try to get to that this week or next weekend.
