Saturday May 19 2007, my brother David and I got the rails installed on our porch. That included adding two uprights across the front of the porch. I had to buy new 4 x 4s because the 3 x 4s that came with the kit were significantly warped. I think that was due to all the moisture we got earlier, even though the posts were under a tarp and didn't get wet directly. By the time we got those up and screwed in, Alisanne (site superintendent and wife) ordered me off the ladder. The wind was pretty strong and made her nervous. Not that I minded . . . That did mean the braces for the new uprights will get installed on a less windy day. I think the porch with the railing looks pretty good. We had been going to have the stairs to the deck on the front (west side) but decided there would be too many stairs, and that side isn't the most convenient to the rest of the beach. My sister and brother in law--Marci and Dave Tuttle--are here from Alaska, so the work day was shortened so we could have time together. The cabin isn't going anywhere, but Marci and Dave will only be here a few days.
