First we'll start with an update on the finished product of the built-in I did for our master closet.
This was a simple cure for the closet envy I came down with after building the wife a built-in. It is purely utilitarian and does not have the details like crown and cove moldings. However it serves its purpose and houses all my shoes, boots, t-shirts, and assorted clothing.
The major project we have undertaken is screening in our existing porch. Several posts ago we posted the design plans and the Home Owners Association finally came through with the approval. With that in hand we got underway.
Using our mitre saw really speed the project up, it would have been much slower using the circular saw.
Securing the bottom plate with a ramset.
Everyone is getting involved.

If you're going to use the impact driver like a girl, use it like a big girl

I don't why i was cutting so close to the edge, this looks unsafe
Making some progress. By the end of the first day we had the frame completed.
The second day was consumed by adding 66 balusters. This was a huge pain, every single one had to be cut on both ends and leveled, then screwed into place. Screwing them into place usually resulted in them moving out of level. Many four letter words were uttered.
Almost done as the sun is setting.
Boots are off that means I'm done for the day. It really is looking good.
This is the doggy door that will lead to a small fenced in area to keep the dog contained when she does her business. We're in the process of training her to use it, which is going very well.
I've actually made a lot more progress, but am far to tired to take pictures right now. I was crawling around in the attic all day running CAT 5e cable, the attic is warm during the day in Texas. For now on I will do attic work at night.
