Working in the heat

The past three days, in spite of the heat, Harold and I have been working hard to complete a couple projects.    Harold is feeling better now and has more energy, and so we can finally get some of those projects completed.  We put up paneling on our sun porch (we still have a wall to do yet), and we began building the porch railing on our big deck porch.   We only have 6 more to build, but here's what one of the fences looks like.   We still need to build a top rail, and put everything together.   We will let the wood weather for a while, then paint the porch (they say you need to do that with treated lumber).   Harold and I sweated big time in the 90 + heat and no air conditioning.   But everything will look nice when we get finished.
We used an air staple gun to put up the paneling.     

One rail section, only 6 more to go!  Then put it all together.

Sun porch almost looks like another room.
Make sure you take a picture of the front porch when you have all the railings up - looks like it's coming along real nice.

How is Barbie? Is she around? Looking good around there. I know you will be glad to get these projects done. Don't get to hot. Drink lots of water. Skip

No Barbie - She went missing about a year ago. But she was about 7 yrs old anyway. Never did find her.
