Screen Porch Progress

A week has gone by and Ryan has made so much progress on the screen porch.
Ryan MADE these steel turnbuckle supports himself! I'm so proud of him.

They look awesome!

That was fun!

woah! There's no column anymore! It took me a while to realize this haha

The new roof tied in above the old garage roof.

Pretty soon we'll be sitting out here.

Screen Porch

Ryan has made A LOT of progress on the screen porch since I made the construction page. We have so many projects going on...yes I can hear the all familiar sound of the air compressor as I type...So here's a quick look into the progress...

 
Being a good helper
