Front steps have been a long time coming. And we finally have them. They are not quite complete yet, but they are fully functional and I thrill at the prospect of welcoming guests through our front door rather than the garage. Here's a look at the progress the front of the house has made since January 2010 (remember, we moved in November 2009).
January 2010: Building front columns
February 2010: Front columns complete AND we have a driveway!
May 2010: Stucco now covers the block on either side of the front porch
July 2010: Stucco gets color
August 2010: Grass!
October 2010: Digging begins to start steps
October 2010:First steps started
March 2011: More step progress
March 2011: Forms built to pour the remainder of steps
May 2011: Functional steps
The columns and walls on either side of the steps still need to be built, as well as finishing them in brick. But next on the work list is to frame out the windows under the front porch so that Tom can brick the porch. It's all a process and I think we've come a long way!
