Front Porch Re-Do

When we bought our house 15 years ago, it had blue railings on the porch. Several years ago we noticed the railing was rotting, so we took down the bad parts and left the posts and the top. A couple of weeks ago my son Brian and I were talking about finally redoing it, so he took some measurements and got a price for the materials for me. Yesterday morning we started taking down the rest of the old blue wood, and then went to the lumber yard. We got the posts and most of the railing up yesterday, and finished up the last of it today. I love the new look, and am so glad Brian was able to do this for me. Next I think I'm going to repaint the shutters...I just have to decide on a color. And see when Brian can help me do that too! :0)

    It looks great and was nice to watch him work. The step railings will make it so much easier for me to get up the steps.

    It looks wonderful - I really like the railings. I've always wanted a porch (or verandah as we call them)!
