He worked long and hard. Our friend, Lindsey also came over and helped Chris get up the railing post...which was the hardest part of the job. I was the assistant throughout the day, and I even cut some of the wood myself with a big scary miter saw.
The railings were a lot easier to put up than the new columns, even though they were time consuming.
I got the porch swing painted, rigged and hung...
And even got a little festive with some Christmas lights...
But STILL NO PAINT JOB! Arghhh!
You can't paint your house when it's under 50 degrees outside, and we have had a COLD December! There's still some caulking left to do, priming on the brick, and then paint all over!
I'm praying for just a few warmer days so Charles the Painter can knock it out!
For now, I'd still rather look at this...
...than this...
...I'll just keep dreaming of this...
...til it's done!
(I'm just hoping that day comes before March!!!)
