Brooks just had a customer bail out of a project after the material was ordered and he is stuck with a trailer full of cedar that he thinks is enough to build a front porch on our house! He is bringing it up next week!
The new porch will cover the small concrete landing and stairs currently at the front of the house and will extend out a bit and along under the living room window. It will have a pergola style roof and will be a great place to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or lunch!
Exciting times! I just have to pay his bill at the saw mill, buy the food and beer, pay for his gas and all the extra bits and pieces :).
But we are getting a porch!
We've been in Mazatlan almost two weeks.

Sometimes the best things are not always planned. Good Luck with the new porch.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Gotta love having a front porch hopefully you can get some before and after pictures to show us.
ReplyDeleteI always forget the "before" photos so I will take some today.
DeleteWhat a good deal for you both, you will love having a front porch.
ReplyDeleteI can envision a chain hung porch swing....
DeleteCedar is so expensive here in South Carolina. Instead, we have to use treated timber, and we have termites galore. You certainly won't have to worry about those little critters eating up the cedar.
ReplyDeleteBrooks has his own "sawmill guy" and gets the best wood at a very reasonable price. The mill guy claims that Brooks is his biggest customer so he goes out of his way to keep him coming back.
DeleteWhen he's finished at your place..Send him down to Chelan Wa....I could use a great deal like that....I don't have beer, but I have plenty of Ale's...
