Porch - Friday

Here I am blogging on my new porch, all screened in. It's a wonderful cool night in Asheville. Gracie is on her first exploration and is really fascinated by it all.

Next step, replanting plants that were removed for the project.

Monday, electrician.

Then, gutter man. Plan to use rain chains and rain barrel.

Pictures to come soon.

Porch - Wednesday

Waited for the county inspector to come again. He arrived about 1 and gave the okay. That will allow the completion of electrical recepticals, lights, fan, knee rail and all the things necessary to complete the project.

Today saw the addition of the soffit and the screen framing. The screen can be popped right it.

Thursday....builders arrive and wait for inspector. Inspector finally arrives 1 p.m. Chats socially with builders for hour. Okays work. Rain pours. Builders leave.

Friday....first good day of work. The whatchamacallits (floor beams/joists?) are all in place. Ready for flooring. I anticipate a good outcome.
