The front porch is done and ready for some chairs. I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking today.

What’s around the corner, you ask?

More porch!

The outside fireplace is framed out also. It looks plenty big enough to keep the porch nice and toasty.

Don’t forget to look up and see the 1×12 tongue and groove ceiling. This looks awesome, and runs under the entire porch, not just the big side porch.

The other news is that the doors and windows not only were delivered, but were installed this week. To continue showing off the porch, here it is from inside the living room through the doors. We debated having double doors or a single door with a window, and I think we made the right call. The glass definitely helps open up the room, and once the fireplace has rock, it will be a great focal point to draw you out to the porch.

If you look left from the doors, the inside fireplace has been framed.

This is the first picture showing the window we added in the upstairs bedroom (top middle window). It was a good addition, and completes that room.

The outside left of the house looks better with all of the windows in, and there’s still one more to add in the closet-turned nook upstairs.

Lots of windows means lots of screens. The scale is tough, but trust me that this is a big pile of window screens!
