\"Building<\/a>
Wood for the porches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

More materials have been delivered. The skips are gone and we have a new empty one. And\u2026<\/p>\n

They have started on the porches!<\/p>\n

The plans have a nice front porch. It is 17\u2019 wide and 6\u2019 deep.<\/p>\n

The log cabin has a huge front porch. We spend a lot of time on it. So we decided to add a large porch to the back of the new house. It isn\u2019t as big as the porch on the log cabin, but it\u2019s close. The porch at the new house is 28\u2019 wide x 12\u2019 deep.<\/p>\n

\"Building<\/a>
The door from the bedroom and where the french doors will be<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The French doors from the dining room open to the back porch. We also added a door from our bedroom to the back door, too.<\/p>\n

\"Building<\/a>
One of the piers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I got there, they had dug up the piers. They poured the piers at the same time as the rest of the footers, but they had covered them back up when they graded.<\/p>\n

\"Building<\/a>
Flashing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They nailed on this flashing.<\/p>\n

\"Building<\/a>
Drilling the holes for the pins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They nailed up some wood and started drilling holes in it.<\/p>\n

\"Building<\/a>
Pins<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then they drilled a lot of holes and put in these long pins.<\/p>\n
