Porch Makeover

March 5, 2022

Once we painted the exterior brick on our house it was time to tackle the porch. It was typical 1960s porch with metal columns and concrete steps. I kept all of that and used that as the structure for the renovation.

I used 1x4s and concrete anchors to first cover the concrete, this is what I’ll be using to attached our treated boards to. Once I had all the 1×4 supports down I started at the door and worked my way down securing the treated 1×6 boards. For the vertical wrap areas I used 2×8 and secured them directly to the concrete with anchors.

After the porch was done I moved on to the columns. I left the existing black metal columns and and wrapped them using 1×12 rough sawn pine. I used wood glue and finishing nails to wrap the columns and then trimmed the top and bottom with 1×4 rough sawn pine. Once I finally picked a stain color I stained the columns (and trim around the brick) and sealed it with Thompson’s WaterSeal. For the porch I used a deck stain in an off-white.

Four. We have been a party of four for the past fi Four. We have been a party of four for the past five weeks and it’s going to take many more weeks to get used to it, adding a babe to the family with a toddler is a BIG adjustment. I know one day they’ll be the best of friends, today is not that day. 

Yesterday I did brave the grocery store with both (we’ve been doing grocery pickup or shopping on the weekend when Travis is home). Carrier in one arm, Ted in another. Thanks to the sweet lady who offered to unload her cart in the parking lot to give to us.
Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams Truman’s room made all my vintage nursery dreams come true. The paneling on the walls was perfect and I knew it had to stay (I’m sure the day will come where he’ll want it painted). I used most of the same nursery decor that we had for Teddy and added a few new things. Teddy enjoys going in and stealing all his things and I’m sure soon enough Truman will do the same to big brothers room.
