Facelift for a House

I had previously mentioned that we had a 2/1 that we were modifying the porch on.  The existing porch wall had some structural damage and there was an opportunity to open up the front step, both to improve the aesthetics and to make room for sitting on the porch to watch the world go by.  Here is the final result...

In the beginning, the front of the house was worn and a bit droopy looking...


We cleaned up the shrubbery in front, removed the lower wall, put in a permanent front step and updated the shutters...


The difference in the porch area is quite amazing and well worth the effort. Now I can picture myself sitting out front, having a cup of coffee and watching the world go by.
