the new porch it is done!

After a year and a half we finally were able to get the screen porch finished. When we moved in it was 4 x 4’s and screens. There were some very crude storms made with Plexiglas but the frames holding them were rotted and the Plexiglas cracked. They were unusable. Macy and I use the porch a lot to be outside but not all the way outside. We had someone lined up to do it for a year and a half ago but he called the day before he was to start and told me he needed a whole lot more money even though he quoted the job. I refrained from cussing at him but told him that was unacceptable and so a year and a half later I finally found a friend of a friend who would do the job. The original dimensions and three of the 4 x 4 frame members were kept. I had purchased the windows and door for the original attempt.

Now Macy and I have a much nicer set up. There is a lower windowsill for her to sit on and keep track of what goes on in the backyard. It has been very frustrating as I have lost mobility and capability. I now have to depend on others and communicate to them what I need. Very very frustrating for me and the people involved. I need a lot of grace to deal with my own frustration and the frustration I cause with my poor communication methods. I spent years making drawings to communicate and now I am forced to verbalize everything.
