Mother's Day on the front porch (5/12/13)

Mike started putting the decking on the front porch today!  What a wonderful Mother's Day for me!! :)  He did a lot of figuring and also didn't have the screws he needed so he didn't get as much done as planned, but it's getting there!  I love the pattern that he designed for the deck boards and the boards them self are so nice!  They are some kind of exotic hardwood that should last a long time.  

Enjoying Mother's Day on my new front porch!

Jonah-baby!

Such a cool pattern!

Now it all needs to be screwed down and the steps portion on the far end needs to be finished.  We aren't sure what we will do for steps right now since the sidewalk is not poured, but we will probably do something temporary for now.  Need to get this project finished and usable since next week the hole in the backyard is going to be dug so we will no longer have a back door!  Exciting!
