Beauty and the Beast(s)!

The wrought iron is gone! Yea! Brooke decided to let someone help us on a house project (I know, pick yourself up off the floor)! The wrought iron posts under our carport and at the front entrance had been bugging me since day one. We were finally able to have them removed and replaced and it already looks so much better. We used Don Young to pull down the old wrought iron and replace them with wood posts. Anyone that lives on the mountain, we HIGHLY reccommend using Don. He's a perfectionist and loves to work on older homes. Let us know if you need his info! Brooke will finish off the posts by painting them white and putting decorative moulding at the top and base of each column. Don also added a post in the middle of the carport. This automatically cleared up the sag in that roof. We'll probably add some wood to the posts on the front porch to make them a bit larger and more "stately." Of course, a new front door and new light fixture will also go a long way to help show off the front entrance. Again...progress...very slow progress, but progress for sure!
