Back at it



If only the weather would be a bit more cooperative, as in not so cold, we might move along a bit faster. The exterior work has continued on the outside, but this time the neglected front porch area is receiving some love. Dierdre mentioned that she was glad to actually start it, as it has been the saddest looking part and is the highest profile. We were waiting to install the roofing steel until we had completed the insulation, as it was being blown in from above. Also, yet to be built were the valleys where the porch met the house, so it was all scheduled to happen in one fell swoop.
As they were up on the roof working out the details, I installed the door hardware on three doors. I work very slowly and what I thought would take me no time actually consumed most of one day. How discouraging. At this rate, I'll have all the interior doors hung and hardware on in about two years!!
