Front Porch and Garage Progress

The front porch and garage are coming along very quickly!  Once they got the old porch down, the new one started to be built.  The garage and driveway has also been laid out and the concrete work began and has moved along quickly as well.

For the garage they dug out a trench and built a stem wall to support the weight of the garage.


  
 After that was poured and dried, the garage pad was poured.


The circle driveway has been dug out and will be poured hopefully this week!


After all of the posts were put up, the last 2 metal columns were taken out and then the work began to recreate the original porch.

 Wood was secured along the wall of the house to support the decking.


 Then the boards were installed across the porch.

This is the view from the end of the porch and after they finished the floor, they started working on the railing!  More pictures coming soon!
