Just a small Update

The crew could not work today as it was raining and sleeting, but here is what they have accomplished.. YOu can see how much of the porch they have done, and they have most of the shingles on the roof.. There is still much to do, but the main guy doing the work said he will be completed in a little over a week.. That is if it will stop raining. Any way here ia a photo of the porch so far.. there is still painting to do as well. We are changing the color on the house , it will look very nice.
