Yesterday I finished ripping out the old concrete that had been poured over our wood porch! I could feel the testosterone flowing as I wielded the sledgehammer and crow bar and destroyed big chunks of concrete (grrr!)… (don’t laugh)! Heather initially started the deconstruction with her favorite tool (the sledgehammer), and I’ve been helping her for the past three days after I come home from my contracting (programming) gig. The wood seems in pretty good shape for the most part, but in front of our front door they put down linoleum. Underneath that the wood looks damaged - so it looks like we’ll have to replace it. Also, our front steps are concrete and are not connected to the porch - hmmm…

Today we will finish ripping down the bead board that covers up the original porch structure.

I wish we had a digital camera so I could do a photo journal…
