On July 2 we got to installing the new aluminum porch railing. My dad took out the old wooden railing before we even got home on the Wednesday, so we were able to paint the pillars on July 1, so we were all ready to go on July 2. It took us the best part of the day to get all three sides of the railing installed, but it looks awesome!
Before
After
July 3 my parents went to visit my brother & then babysat Evie while her parents went out. Apparently she likes to bang on the bathroom door while you are in there, and shout at you. Not sure why - the mind of a 15 month old. Andrew & I stayed home & painted the front door (red - it looks great!) and moved some plants around.
July 4 we went out for brekkie, my parents went home, and we got more plants at the garden centre. And we found out that we have a matching set of mice - one for the back garden & one for the front (which we found out when Andrew spotted a pint lily flower sauntering through the garden by itself). Jerk mice. I hates them.

Love the reno's. Especially the red door.
Looks really good!
A porch with rails is a good way to corral a toddler when you want some outside time. I regret not putting a rail door on ours as well -- a lot of families did, and it makes for instant outdoor playspace. Oh well, live and learn.
We also need to paint our door, but after years of pondering it I still can't decide what colour would be good. Because we picked crap colours for our trim and siding, which look good with NOTHING else. I love the red on yours!
It would be nice if we could put a gate on the front porch to corral small people, but with the step starting before the porch ends, they'd just be able to limbo out of confinement.
Hey. Do NOT be dissing the limbo. That is a PARTY WAITING TO HAPPEN right there.
Alright. It's no conga line, I grant you.
