Out with the old (porch) and in with the new!!

Things inside are still coming along.  The drywall continues to go up.  It is such a huge job and the guys are working constantly!  Outside things are starting to pick up!  The front porch project is underway and moving quickly!  We are having to use a different entrance because the old porch is gone!  So exciting!  The posts are wooden and wrapped with cedar and then painted and sealed at the shop and then will have minor touch ups done after the entire porch is complete.  This will make it a lot easier to finish rather than painting it all at the end.


  
 Here the first post is going up!  It was quite a chore to get it up there.  Each post is 16ft long and is very very heavy.  


 
Here is a view from the top of the stairs that lead down to the bunker.  We will have 6 posts across the front like the original structure.


 2 posts up!  And as you can see the front porch is gone!  It now sits out in the yard!


 Another angle of the missing front porch.  The area looks so much bigger and it will be great to have a huge porch across the front!

 The lonely front door with lower entrance below.



 As you can see in this picture, we will have 2 posts flanking the front door and the front stairs will be the entire length between those 2 posts.  I'm jumping ahead a little bit, but I can already picture decorating the front porch for Christmas!  It will be beautiful!
