Of Porches and Quilty Things!
Son Jeff and Hubster Dave have been hard at work replacing our weather worn and disintegrating porch railings at home.
They are making great progress on this big job, and I am loving it.
The current on-going discussion is that they want to paint the wire grids black. I want them kept galvanized grey (So that they never have to be repainted!) and once again I am the odd one out.
I’ll keep pushing the need to repaint scenario and see what happens.
The project is likely to go on hiatus shortly as Hubs surgery on his right hand scheduled for the 14th. THey are trying to get as much done as they can before recuperation time sets in.
My favorite thing so far? I love that I can see through the wire grids so much better than I could the wood slats.
Even from inside the house it opens up the view.
And yes – we won the battle on leaving enough space at the bottom to be able to use the leaf blower to clear off fallen leaves in the fall.
I left the inn mid-afternoon on Saturday to come home and spend some time with this red-headed cutie!
You can see that he is less than thrilled with any kind of photo op – he’s going to be 9 in a few months.
I’ll take whatever time I can get with Casden no matter how uncooperative he is with Bo-Nana’s photo taking!
I’ve turned a corner and am headed up the second side on the second round in toward the center.
Still a long long way to go, but every evening round of stitching puts me closer to the finish.
Today is the last day for the March Quiltvillians. We are hoping for some over-the-porch-rail photos – as long as the wind isn’t too wild.
Yesterday was extremely cold – but today we should hit 50 by afternoon photo time. Fingers crossed.
Quiltville Quote of the Day –
It all depends on how you look at it!
Have a marvelous Monday, everyone!
