What is the title on this blog?

Yeah, yeah, this is supposed to be a crafting blog. Well, I just got a cool new digital camera and I'm having fun taking pictures.

Here is the final picture with skychairs hanging and backyard cleaned up, of our covered porch. I am VERY happy with how it turned out.



Oh, and click on the link to see just how awesome our new camera is!

Addition Complete!

Porch Constructed? Check

Painted and Stained? Check

New Gutter to help get rid of swamp in back yard? Check

Cleaned up work site? Crap.

Okay, so chairs and planters are there because we wanted to keep Callay off of the porch while it dried. I guess I should go move them now. I'll post a new picture with an AM shot, when the sun is better for good exposure.

Almost there!

Here's Friday's picture and Saturday Morning. Doesn't look like the guys did a ton of work, but that's because most of the work was wiring and boxing in the bay window. They put the fan support in the wrong place, but I guess they'll have to fix that today or Monday.

Oh, and Callay, the greyhound, slipped out while they were loading their trucks up to leave. She pushed past the barrier and was off. Luckily she stopped to try and tangle with a cat, and the distraction allowed the guys to catch her again. They're very lucky and I had a long conversation with them again about how fast greyhounds are and how they should just use the dog door plate like I"d said. grrr. I"ll have a talk with the main guy about it when he comes today to fix the fan.

Shingles!

I promised Shingles, and here they are! It should be done this Friday, everything but the painting.

Tuesday's Progress

And we have plywood! Tomorrow's pics will include shingles!

Covered Porch Continued

Here's yesterday's progress on the porch!

Addition!

This is the start to an addition we are putting on our house. There used to be a small porch, and we are enlarging it and putting a shed roof over it. Here it is partially finished.
