June 18 - Outside Progress

Back porch, steps and screens

The back porch is looking very fine with all the screening (even the screen door) installed. The front porch stairs and posts are completed, and the flagstone path from the driveway is almost all done. And you'll see below that some of the leftover field stones were used to echo the original cottage's stone chimney.

The ice house looks as good as new, and the driveway circle is back with an added drop-off extension leading to the back door for easy suitcase and grocery delivery.

Jean-Marc and crew have laid sod around the house hoping that this will help keep the floors clean. Meanwhile, we're sowing it with clover in the hopes of making it environmentally friendly and in keeping with our cottage heritage.
