August and the Porch

Since the porch was one of my "must have" features in building a house, I was excited to see it beginning to take shape. This past Sunday, on a sweltering day, the temperature at our house was 5 degress cooler than down on Highway 11. (but it was still hot!)




Again, the porch from inside the house...



Here's a better photo of this week's note from Scott: "To all people on job site: No smoking in house. No mud in house. Clean up behind yourself. Take trash to trash pile. Take your bottles and material scrap out. Thank you, Scott" Sounds like good rules to me - I could do several of them up in counted cross-stitch!



Here is the "bonus" room we created (at Scott's suggestion) in the attic. This is to be John's special retreat - i.e. the planes, trains, & automobiles room. It is bigger than it looks - 12x12. We won't finish this initially, but save it as a project going forward.
