They have now framed the front porch. There will be a stairway with 2 risers leading up to the front porch...between the brick pillars, we will have built-in benches so you can sit out in the Spring, Fall and (me anyway) Winter and watch the sun go down in the West over the ridgeline...or have a place to set your beer, or lay down after you have set down too many beers (not in the Winter, probably)...
