Get Off My Porch




Construction has started on our front porch and our back porch! The front porch is a smaller gathering area (not everyone loves front porches apparently) and the back porch is going to be screened in with doors that open up into the dining room. On nice days, we can whip open the doors and let the outside in! This was our architect, Mary's, idea. She has it at her house and we saw it in action - it is REALLY cool. We might not get to test it out right away since we move in in February... but the first day over freezing, you can bet we'll be trying it (even if it's only for a few minutes!).

There were other little changes like more framing on the fireplace and soffits starting to be added to the roof, but the other big change is that now there is a much more civilized way to get upstairs! We were thrilled to take advantage of that and explore the loft and bedrooms in great detail. Everything looks amazing and is coming along nicely, so it's been fun to explore. The hard part is waiting for it all to be finished!
