After all the snow from winter 2003 finally melted, I got outside and built a porch. Most of the windows were replaced, as was the roof, and electrical.

Move on to year 2
Move on to year 3
Back to the start

Front 07/04/03 Porch is almost done!	View from the end of the street
railings are made of miranti mahogany	decking corner, decking is kayu batu
the old 60 amp meter	the new meter
the old fusebox mess	the new 200 amp curcuit breaker panel
THE ROOF IS DONE!	re-flashed the chimney..no William, I didn't get a new raincoat
oh man, now what have I done??	oh...a new door.
one year after ground breaking!	meanwhile...inside the house
So then the weather got cold. Again. I took the operation inside for the winter and began by stripping out the old plaster and blown in insulation in the hallway and upstairs bedroom that would become the new bathroom.	Blown in insulation is very itchy.
