In the days before Christmas, I finally had the right weather for painting the stain on the porch. I was fighting rain and low temperatures and got a few days of sunshine. #1 critical area was the T-111 siding that got so wet in the storms and buckled. Thankfully, it dried and went back in place. #2 critical area was the framework where the screens will be installed. #3 critical area was the fascia and soffit. The steps, hand rails and screen doors could wait. I worked my tail off for 3 days, rolling and chasing it with a paint brush. I haven't posted pictures because they were on my old phone and I finally got my DSIL to download them on my computer. We left Christmas Eve morning and all I could think about was how I wanted to be painting on my porch!
We got the porch swing hung!
SCREENS GO ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

Green with envy here, our porch is so small, there's room for one chair and that's only if the screen door is closed.

That porch looks so cool. The builder did a good job. You did a great job with the painting. You're gonna enjoy that so much! I looks really good up against the house -- in the photos, anyway -- and a few plantings in front of the porch will make the addition really one with the house. So great!

@aftermidnight our previous house had a tiny porch too. We could fit two wooden rockers on it, but our feet were in the flower bed.
I am already planning the flower bed in front of the porch. It will go all the way across the front about three feet wide. I'm going to make it a raised bed. I have a stack of catalogs that I am drooling over.
@Carol Dee I love to paint!! I would love to paint your porch......how about hot pink and purple??
