90 degrees
That's how hot it was at 11:00 this morning when we gave up working on the front porch and decided beers were in order. This is how far we got:
It's two-fifths done. The two easy fifths. Two of the other sides are encroached upon by the big evil rosebush and the center section will have a four foot wide gate in the center.
It's possibly the tallest porch railings I've ever seen - 3' 10" (I just had Jeff go out an measure). Even Indy will think twice about trying to jump that. Since our house was built in 1926 by carpenters who didn't own squares, each part has to be customised to its particular section. It's a royal pain in the ass, but now that two of the sections are up, I can see that it will be worth the effort in the end.
Or so I keep telling myself. :)

It's actually a little known fact that squares weren't actually invented until 1932. Until then all construction was made using a mixture of ovals, hexagons, and woad.
(The porch is looking nice by the way)
Even with just a view of the porch, your home looks beautiful!
Looks good! Mom wants to know if you'll come do her house next...
