Our Retirement Home Part Twenty-Five (Front Entrance Posts)


Last year Marie and I went down to a local wood mill and had the owner cut us four cedar trees which we hauled back in the trailer and left to dry out during the winter. We had decided to put them in the front entranceway to replace the 2x8s that were holding up the roof. Last month, after  sanding the two I chose, Alex (our local handy man we call whenever there's a job I can't handle) installed them on to the cedar deck. I stained them afterwards and we think they really look great! gws
