Work done on front porch
We put up some 2x6's last night. Had to measure/cut them, fit them flush into the joist hangers and screw them in. We managed to get around 5 done.
We've had pretty heavy rains for the past several days so that has held us up on getting more done.

Mud/Taped Bar and Finished Joist Hangers
I worked mudding/taping bottom of bar and mudding the laundry room while hubby finished putting up joist hangers for back porch. Now we need a pause from all this rain we've been getting so we can start putting up tin.

Putting up Joist Hangers
Last night was spent putting up almost all of the joist hangers it will take for the front porch. Tonight hubby will probably finish the remaining hangers for the front and start putting up the hangers for the back porch. We've been having a little dampness come in during the heavy rains we've had for the past month, so hubby has decided to lay off interior work on the house in favor of building the front and back porches. We bought the lumber we would need for both porches a few days ago. I've friends and family that sometimes I think I'm more excited about the front porch than I am the house being done! I plan on spending lots of time on the front porch.
