The carpenters started on the back porch today. They think they'll get it framed out before the weekend, but the roofline will have to wait until next week. Still no stairs -- I think that's waiting on the basement floor being poured, which is waiting on the plumber installing the radiant floor heat pipes, and he's waiting on the floor being cleaned up and graded by the concrete dudes, who showed up this afternoon. Got all that?
The new porch will be enclosed, and run all the way to the edge of the existing north wall. We're losing the bathroom window and the crummy sewing room window, yay! It'll also be heated, which is a vast improvement over the old porch, and there'll be an overhang over the door. So exciting!
The front yard is back to being a yard, albeit a bumpy, rocky one. The contractor was Not Happy with whoever sprayed the black waterproofing stuff on the foundation, because they went Much Too High, and now they have to re-grade the dirt higher to cover it up. He said at least it'll have very, very good drainage!
