After slowly bringing in stacks of two inch home-sawn boards from a snow-covered pile in the front yard and warming them up, Will cut them to length and stained them. So for a week or more, there was not only a scaffold in our living room but a stack of boards in the entryway, too. The inconvenience and mess was well worth it because today Will nailed down the last boards!
Just as soon as we have warm weather, we can get the ice and water shield nailed down on the boards and as soon as our carpenter friend, Tom, who is also a very experienced roofer (and did the roofing on the rest of the house) has time, we’ll get shingles down on the porch, too. Imagine! The entire house will be roofed and shingled!
The porch looks very beautiful and we only have to add railings and the wide front steps Will wants to put down into the front yard and it’ll be finished. Now that’s a great word for a homesteader, isn’t it? Finished. (It only happens every once in a while…) I’m so blessed to have such a creative, hard working husband and believe me, I know and appreciate it. — Jackie
