New porch and front doors

Cheapest bid from a contractor was $14,500… I did this porch and 225 feet of new privacy fencing for $8,000. I’m not fast at these projects but I’m good enough to do it on my own. I put the lattice on today, only facsia and landscaping left.

The not so pretty part of remodeling. Wire holding up pipe is temporary! Just turned on and no leaks. Not bad for a system admin! Prob could have done a better job wiping solder joints been a while since ive done it. And yes its a crawl space my fav!

It was quite the project. Lots of bubbly water was required. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: but now I have lots of perennials for tea this winter! :sweat_smile:

Thanks @Thirdmonkey and @SassyRocks

Looks like a gorgeous piece of property! I was a big gardener when I was younger and lived in New England (born and raised)…come from a family of gardeners. I tend some herbs now as well. Lavender grows incredibly well here and seems not to be eaten by the deer, so I grow a lot of it as a border around our flowers. I have a lot of other herbs as well for cooking. Mostly flowers and herbs now. Tho I do have lettuce growing up on the porch in a stand up planter. Still harvesting it, which is nice. Lettuce is definitely the gift that keeps on giving.

It’s a lot easier than it looks. All clicks together like a big jigsaw. Luckily YouTube had a guy explaining it from start to finish :joy:
