While the cat's away...

Okay, I'm alive. Most of you know that I've been out sick for quite some time, which means you have missed out on a whole lot of the work going on. I was too sick to even notice the work was being done, let alone to get pictures of it and put them up here. I wish I had had the energy, but oh well.
Geoff took this photo today. So you can see that the porch roof is done and that the porch pad area has been dug out for concrete. They're going to start laying bricks across the outside of the pad area tomorrow, and the shingles are here and ready to be put on tomorrow as well. Once the bricks are done, they will pour the concrete pad and fill in the concrete area at the back walkway.
You can see that some of our fence is now missing as well. Also, we're trying to come to a decision about whether we'll be putting up white columns or black cast iron railing to support the roof over the porch. I'm going to put up a poll, so be sure to vote!

My vote is for the cast iron. It has more character. Are you getting any better from being sick?

Glad you are feeling better. We have just come through a major ice storm! I like the cast iron - think it goes better with the overall look of your house and the black shutters.
