Homesteading

Nearing the end for my porch.

↑This was Aug 12th. See the steps and glimpse the floor of the porch above.

↑Aug 14th, work began on my side rail↑

After this the worker (on another job) broke his arm, so it took a lot longer

↑Aug 30 I started painting, after I had cut the post down and finished the top rail itself to match the rail on the other side I'd installed myself in 2022

Here I have installed a dummy post on the right, just for symmetry and balance. The post caps/finials are solar powered lights

Pressure washing revealed a past paint job was rust color, how hideous ha ha ha

↓All the stuff from the porch was in the driveway↓

So I painted the two rockers, the wider seats in back are made of plastic

My niece came to paint the floor and steps for me

The rockers never had any cushions, the love seats had cushions, but after a couple of years out doors, they were badly molded, so I am currently in search of new cushions

I've hired a man to come tomorrow to paint all the wooden parts of the porch and the window frames on the house, he is supposed to be coming tomorrow, then I will be done with the porch. I painted the two metal tables yesterday with gold tone spray paint, but I'm not sure if I'll use them again

@jerrytsuseer...

I've learned to celebrate ALL the little things. Because these little things, used to be big things. But ALL things, were/are things I was doing. Mom raised me to believe that C word didn't exist (you know... Can't). I get it man... But it looks really good. Good vibes.... outstanding job...

The guy I hired to paint the bannisters and top railings is here, but due to the low cloud cover/blowing mist he may have to come back tomorrow I moved the furniture this morning, and I am worn out already

The makeover of your porch looks so good! It's the perfect place to enjoy some lemonade and good company! 😊
