Porch almost done
Main roof is done except for some flashing at the top, then just have to stain the logs & put the decking down. Was nice to sit outside & have a coffee after the rain this morning.

Starting the porch & entryway finally!
Getting started with the porch finally. Here are the 12" supports, they go down past the frost line. Dug by hand & took about 7 bags of concrete each. The cement mixer paid for itslef yet again! Mike & I got the first one up by hand: Last 2 I did myself using a chain hoist & some braces, worked out well: All 3 up, I also have about 1/2 the joists done now too but didn't get a picture. next will be putting a horizontal log across the top, then building a roof ontop :
