Pitter-Patter From Under the New Porch

It was such a joy to sit beneath our porch this afternoon and read a book while the rain poured all around.

Over the last couple of weeks, we busily worked on the new porch addition to the cabin. Roofing the porch was part of the job too and we kept ourselves quite busy getting that finished. It was hard, hot, backbreaking work, but the completed project was worth every minute that we toiled. Rhonda cut shingle sets, while those on the roof divided into shingling teams. Amanda handed shingles to Mark while Rachel handed to Trey. After several mornings and evenings of work, the roofing project was complete and very satisfying. We have the ceiling yet to install and trim work to complete, as well as siding on the cabin, but the project is well under way.

It is so gratifying to know that in future downpours that come to Providence Prairie, we can stay dry sitting outside, watching the rain fall, listening to the pitter-patter from under the new porch roof!
