When last we left the exterior was virtually complete. We've moved inside after quite a break. First up will be electricity and for that we need to remove some boards to run the wires. We finally found some buried treasure! In a deep dark corner stashed away for who knows how long looks to be a wallet of some kind, a boot, a bottle, and half a top to a barrel. We'll try to research their origins or at least their contents soon.
The trim installed today has its first coat of paint. The long view almost looks like things are done. Just a bit more outside then on to the interior with wiring, insulation, wallboard, ceiling, interior trim - wow, hope we can finish before the first snowfall!
Patched in the trim over the kitchen window and installed most of the trim at the far end. There is one more long piece to install over the roof, then an ogee moulding to tie things together. Next step for now is to paint - we need to get a piece of flashing to put between the last trim piece and the roof. We were able to salvage a lot of trim pieces from the old porch so everything blends in rather well.
Sorry it has been so long for an update. Jen painted the exterior of the porch to match the rest of the house - Nantucket White and Pure White. We're getting close with the outside work. Final trim and some clapboards on the main house need to be installed - hopefully this weekend. We had our first real frost last night so the porch served as a storage for late season plants. Hopefully more updates over the weekend.
Here we are adding the many clapboards, some quite short, around the door. Ran out of clapboards. Time to stop!
