Bad News on the Porch!!

A month of so ago, the city inspector was driving by and noticed our porch.  He stopped and did some measuring.....we are 3 ft. beyond the build line.  So, out of the goodness of their hearts, they are letting us keep the flat floor, but all of the posts and beams have to come down!!!  That really stinks!!!  The posts and beams really give it a personality!!!  Our neighbors have told us that the inspector has been driving by several times this past week looking at the porch.....they gave us some time because of the triple-digit heat, to get the posts down.  So, Mike is out there now, taking them down  :(

He is going to use the wood to build wooden planter boxes to put at the front of the porch, to give it a bit of personality, still!!!  

Lauren and I had already planned how we were going to hang and wrap our Christmas lights around the posts, etc. .......I guess it is back to the drawing board!!!

Toodles,
Chelley
