New Front Entrace

The previous front steps were torn down about a week ago. They weren't very well made and certainly weren't original to the house. What you are looking at in the picture is the basic framing made out of pressure treated lumber, on top of which the finished lumber will be built. The porch which was dismantled during the house lifting is also in the process of being put back together (including the two columns that frame the entrance to the porch). As a side note, the front doors were stripped by the painters with Jasco and once they are patched and the new mortise lock is installed, will be painted dark blue.
