New Front Porch

Before you ask... Yep, Trent built it! He had a lot of spare time while Cam and I were getting spoiled rotten in VA. He started jack-hammering the day we flew out and had it all finished by the time we returned home 1 week later. (I know, I know - he's amazing.)



In case anyone's forgotten, here's what the front of the old porch looked like. It was slowly sinking toward the house, causing water to drain into the foundation. Not to mention the steps were pretty tall, which posed quite a hazard, especially in icy weather. (Wow, I've lost a lot of weight since this pic was taken.)

To say a lot has changed in the past couple years would be a little bit of an understatement!

Thanks, hunny, for all your hard work and amazing talents (and for taking care of us and our house and keeping us safe)! You're the best! ;)

Wow! Trent did a great job. What a difference...your house doesn't even look like the same house compared to a year ago. Very impressive!
