Been working on this front porch remodle since last October.  Had to rip out an old porch and turn part of it into a closet for my little girl.  Its been a long process.  I figure if I plug away each night when I get home, I can play on the weekend -- at least part of it.  Im no carpenter so this is a huge feat for me.





Just got to hammer out the siding, then put up a hand rail, a screen door, pavers in front of the steps, a mail box, pressure wash it all, caulk the edges, and seal it.  Im not going to be done till this October will it??   ::hittingself::

Thanks; it has been a challenge.  Im nearly done with the siding and have a hand rail and screen door to put up.  Once that's done, I'll attach the final photos.  This is the LAST project Im doing on this house.  Been there 14 years and have constantly had re-modeling going on -- Im a bit tired of it   :death2: 
Thanks again for the compliments.

Im so close I can taste it.  All I have left is the hand rail coming down the steps.  I have a neighbor whose a carpenter and he said he'd help me.  I gotta go hit him up for workin on it this weekend.

I have some updated pictures so I'll get one on here soon.

Thanks Mayfly.

Thanks Luvin and Mayfly.  Here's my latest photo.  I have a screen door in front of the door you see here and I still need the rails on the stairs to be able to get rid of the permit.  I also got a little bit of landscaping to do with the retaining wall but its soooo close.  The bottome stairs are wet from us washing off the rocks.  We had just finished laying those.
