Yet another home improvement project

The front porch.

We repainted the porch (and steps, which you can't see) in a gray skid-proof paint. Now we're adding a railing. Of course, first we have to paint everything.

Our front porch is pretty darn big, and we never use it because when we do, we always hear strange crashing noises as the dogs cavort inside. We'll put up a gate in front of the steps and be able to bring the dogs out with us (the railing will be 4 feet high). Our goal is to have it done by July 4.

Those two chairs that you can see in the background are alley finds that I've spray painted. I suppose I should make cushions for them at some point now, huh?
