I have lots of photos from Boston. Like Patty, I just need to upload them and post.

Did you see the toy store on the other side? I wanted to go inside but it was closed.

some pics

the pot is a "tinajones" (phonetic pronunciation). They were created by hand (not wheel) in the Cuban town of Camaguey for over 300 years.

The lizard is a big 3 dimensional ceramic that guards the hot tub from prying eyes.

A couple big tortoises have the run of the garden.

Don't know what the flowering tree is but it's pretty.

Cool pics, flts.

Here is before and after..... I'd have to dig around the old pics to find one that showed the brick steps.

No steps. No, not a roll of toilet paper. Building permit sticking out of mailbox.


New front porch. Very happy with it. Of course the problem with renovations is that you see other stuff you should do. A new storm door would be nice. Oh excuse the dirt on bottom step...didn't have time to hose it offer before

Thanks, Gene.

A walkway is still on the list. Need to get another price or two.

Lainey, front porch looks nice. Did you go with Azek again?

I need some stairs up at my Kennedy Meadows place and told my contractor up there I want to go with Azek, like I used on my home deck.

Thanks, Patty. Yes we used the Azek again. No maintenance, no painting works for us! It ties in with the side porch/deck which I like.

I didn't walk all the way across. Stopped in the middle and watched the boating activity on the river.
