The Back Porch Project

Karol and I spent today replacing the floor on the back porch. Last nigh we went down to Home Depot and bought all our materials. Then this morning, right after breakfast, we started in. We tore out the old flooring and replaced it with new. As you can see, it looks a lot better.

Click on the picture to get a more blow-by-blow on this project. All we have left to do is to put the molding back around the edges, paint the new flooring, and then re-install the railings.

We're having some disagreement about what color to paint it. Karol wants to do a stain of sorts, I just want to paint it with something durable and water proof.

My carpentry skills leave a lot to be desired. My left hand will take some time to heal. It seems that my accuracy with a hammer needs some improvement and my left hand, which holds the nails, suffered several impacts.
