THE NEW PORCH RAILING JULY 13, 2013

 
In the picture above, I am applying, finally, a coat of fresh, gray paint. I have wanted to at least get the porch floor painted, but other projects keep popping up that needed done more so than the painting of the porch.  The temperature is in the lower 80's, a little breeze, perfect weather for painting. Herself worked on her bookcase surrounding the stair opening to the loft. Please note the green shirt I am wearing. It must be at least 50 years old. It is my Army fatigue shirt, issued to me sometime in 1967. It was old when I got it.  It still fits (as long as I don't button it).
 
 


The picture below is the spindles we will use for the new porch railing. 



The picture below is after herself and I finished the first section of railing.



A fresh coat of paint, everything off the porch, it looks huge, and clean.

After (or during this cabin) we have a tree house to build, a little shed to move, a garage to build, a houseboat to . . . ???? repair or remove. We have the little cabin to reside, renovate, remodel. I have a garden to dig and a root cellar to build. I'm a thinking we have another 5 or 6 years worth of projects. Hope it keeps me young and active : )
