Progress on the Covered and Screened In Porch and Deck


The carpenter crew finished up the screened in porch and deck today and loaded up all of their equipment and left.

I am so excited and pleased with the results!


The actual porch is 16' x 16' and the deck is about 8' x 10'.  The deck connects the porch with the den on the right and was made especially to house the charcoaler.


This part is all finished except for the painting.  The painter has been here twice caulking and sanding and starting the primer coat.  It will all be white except the deck which will be left wood.

They also installed crown moulding in the kitchen.  The tile crew come Thursday to grout the backsplash and lay the bathroom tile floor and the wood kitchen floor.

Needless to say, I'm thrilled with it all and am so thankful for the wonderful crews that have been doing all of the work.

If only John would have been here to enjoy it with me.  Next week on the 5th, he will be gone 9 months.  It seems impossible it's been that long and in other ways, it seems like forever.

Treasure every moment you have with your loved ones.

Judy

  17. It looks absolutely beautiful, Judy. I am so glad that things are running smoothly for you and that you found a trusted contractor who does great work. I know what you mean about it seeming so long since John passed, but yet, just like the other day. I still feel that way about Phil, even after almost 6 years. Hugs and blessings to you, my friend.

  26. I am so happy for you Judy and it is looking wonderful! Those door are amazing! Also so glad you are happy with the construction company you are working with! Our porch is covered but not screened in yet...some day. Your John may not be here physically but he is with you spiritually, and I know it's not the same but maybe it can comfort you!

    Hope you have a wonderful week. xo Diana

  28. Judy, your screened porch is wonderful. I know you must be missing John terribly. I can't even imagine how it will be if my husband passes before me. I am still struggling a lot with the loss of my dad and it has been a little over 4 months. Take care of yourself.

    Hugs, Dianne
