SHUT THE FRONT DOOR...

More progress was made on our home...

This is the south porch. All the redwood 2x6 planks were either flipped, repositioned, cut, or remained in place. The hardest part was removing all of the 10d nails. Some nails had to be cut using the reciprocating saw. But a majority of the nails required some plain ole muscle with a little help of a claw and a crowbar.













































Now, as for that front door...

It is still a work in progress. After these pictures were taken, a new LED porch light was installed just above the "Welcome" sign.

The balusters were made of 2x4s cut into a little over one-inch square thickness.





We will be replacing the front door with a 6-pane wood door. The frame will be moved over approximately 6 inches to the right to center the door.

Just above the Welcome sign, is the bathroom window. That will be replaced.

Just to the left, is the laundry room. That window will be replaced and moved to the left.
