Porch Progress

Randy fried Spam and served it with eggs this morning. Then Randy R got busy putting the finishing touches on the drywall screws (he uses 3 coats to be sure of a great finish).  Aaron and Randy went outside into the early morning heat dismantle the porch's support framework and set a board across the bottom of the door frame. 

They measured a folded metal piece that would fit just below the threshold. 

The plan was to set the metal under the door jam. To prepare for this Aaron cut away the glue at the edge of the jam. 

Next they laid glue on both sides of the metal piece so it would hold without any gaps. 

Randy set it on, scooting it tightly under the door jam bottom and sides and it fit perfectly.

Next they started to level the part of the framework that would be permanent.

At that point Randy R and I left to pick Krissy up at the airport. When I got back, most of the porch was complete!

Lovely! But it was time to relax over a dinner of pork chops, scalloped potatoes and peas, followed by chocolate peanut clusters.
