Porch Rails

 

Remember the porch rails that Ray mistakenly made perpendicular when the plans called for horizontal?  And remember how I told him that they were fine, then looked at the plans and decided that I actually liked them better the other way?

Well, I had decided to let it slide.  They were already in and I wasn't sure that it would matter enough to have it changed.  But then I saw my sister-in-law over Easter weekend and she made no bones about it - the rails HAD to be changed, for the sake of all that is good in the world, elsewise she couldn't bear to come visit. 

I couldn't have that.  She is my ONLY friend who I can talk homemade laundry detergent with.  Becca always changes the subject to Disneyland.

So, I told Ray that I did want them like the rendering after all and now we have this.

 

The fake supports still need to go.

So much better!  I owe you one, Melony!!

 

It looks much more substantial. 

 

Here are the rails on the back porch.  I am loving the super wide steps.

 

This is the only new development.  Sheetrock is quite a job but they seem to be nearly finished.  They have promised me that once that part is complete things will pick back up.

I stand corrected. I like the new rails better.

You should try listening. I am not flying to Cali in 19 days. I am going to Disney World. In Florida.

love the rails... and the steps... and the baby in utero.

The rail change made more of a difference than I guessed it would have. Good change!

I would have never guessed they would have made such a difference. I really do like them more, as well. I cannot wait to see the house stained white. It is going to look so good! And the stone!! And the roof!! It is going to come together so nicely.
