framing

As you can see I've got about 2/3 of the framing complete for the porch. The outer bottom will be finished in stone, and above that will be screen. I've taken the opportunity to run some electrical as well so I'll have flood lights in the back yard just to the side of the back exit from the porch, and a porch light mounted to the left of the main entrance. I plan to also add some low-voltage lighting both as landscape lights around the walkway and side, and a couple as 'deck' lights mounted inside the framed bottom that will light up the floor of the porch.

I've picked up bead-board panels (not cheap at $18 a sheet) to do the ceiling. imported-475
