Excuses, Excuses

I know it's been too long since I posted here...in my defense, I am also working full time and am in school as well. Now that the excuses are out of the way, I thought I'd post a few pictures of the progress on the porch and the first floor. Check out the "before" and "after" of the porch...especially the architectural elements along the top of the porch and the railing along the bottom (click on each picture for a larger view).
Before:

After:

We were able to find enough of the porch's architectural elements in the basement to recreate what was missing and restore it to it's former glory. Whitney's smiling. :) (Btw, for those of you who haven't figured it out, I derived the name "Whitney" from Whitman Street...sorry, Eastwood Whitney. However, I will gladly rename her after anyone who puts in enough volunteer time helping me out.;))

Below is a pic (taken from the stairs) of the new subflooring going down on the first floor.


Here are a couple more pictures solely for your viewing pleasure:

The house is looking great. I'm impressed with all the work you are doing. The detail on the front porch is incredibile. I'm sure it took a lot of time to work in all the detail. I'd love to come by and see the house some time. Keep up the good work. You'll have something to be proud of when you finish.
