StoneWalled.

Jay has been busy building walls with all those rocks we have been collecting over the past few years. Today, he is rebuilding some steps, but this is the wall to date, and a few pictures of him working on removing a stump in the way of the next portion of wall.

Mahogany Door

Jay has finished making his beautiful mahogany screen door for the porch. I think we may have to take it with us if we ever move. :) We ordered the hinges and the door latch from http://www.houseofantiquehardware.com and put 3 coats of Sikkens Cetol Window and Door on the door, which took all week as it required 3 coats, and there were 2 sides and we had to let it dry for 24 hours between coats. 

The old steps were too high for the door to open, plus the bottoms were rotten, so in a surprise move by Jay Cole, he simply cut off the bottom step and gave them some structural upgrades instead of building new ones.  We also decided to paint the porch steps red. We had a little help for that too.
