Dad Ripping Old Shingles off Front Porch Roof
Dad is up and down the ladders all day long. He is a great worker. You rock Dad!
Removing the Moss Covered Old Cedar Shingles
My newphew Paul Ashley scrapes the old cedar shingles off the porch roof. Real bull work. Takes strength and stamina to get it done.
Restoration of the Front Porch - June 2008
My goodness, doesn't look like the same porch, does it? We'll have to wait until summer 2009 to rebuild the railings, spindles, ballasters, and steps. While Dad and Jon worked on the porch, I continued the long process of scraping the exterior. Each section I finished, sanded, primed, and put first coat of color. 
Replacing the Porch Floor, Tongue & Grove
During the summer, Mom and Dad visiting us three times. Each time staying a week. They worked their hearts out. I am so proud of them, and forever grateful they are eager to help us with the restoration of our old Victorian. Each time they visited, we were able to pull ahead in our projects by at least a month.
