The Drayer: We have a porch!

This is TWO days work.  They finished roofing this morning (all but the ridge vent).  I'm pretty sure our neighbors were thrilled with the sound of a compressor starting at 8:15 AM on a crisp, fall Saturday morn.  Nothing makes you want to stay snuggled in your cozy bed than the sound of an air gun going through shingles!  [yeah, scoring no points for The Drayer]

The infrastructure is finished.  And the landscaping and hardscaping work is on hold until the porch is finished.  The space is just too small for two crews to be working.  Once they get a few more things done on the porch, they'll lay the patio, install the table and build the steps to the porch.  

It's getting VERY exciting!

So here they are:

The view from inside the family room

The driveway side.
The day they got this much done we were both thinking,
"wow!  Looks good!  Nice work.  [la, la, la la.  Go into the house, resume other duties. etc.  etc.]

This morning it occurred to me I hadn't looked at it from down by the garage.  I called Sarah out, once I realized the view.  Exact quote, "Holy sh$#!!!! What have we done?!"
Ummm, yeah.  It looks BIG from here.  The interesting part about this entire project is we will actually GAIN grassy knoll [again, not sure it'll be a knoll, but it sounds good.  Don't judge.]
IKEA would be proud.  We are eeking out EVERY inch of usable space in this city land locked yard.

I like this view.  Very zen like.
It makes you want to wander in and see what else is back there.

Looks cabin like, no?
