Readying for Winter

The front porch is, as of yesterday, ready for winter. We did a number of little things here over the past few weeks. The mailbox is new; gone is the little mail tray thing that was attached to the window frame. Now we have a family-sized, locking box. Better. I, uh, poured the concrete for the mailbox myself, you know...

A couple weeks ago, I removed the front screen door. This resulted in our needing to do some rehabilitation on the door frame (scraping, sanding, hole-filling, painting) to finish up.

C and I tag-teamed the work, a bit here  and a bit there, until C finished it yesterday with a fresh coat of paint all around the porch. All traces of the screen door are now removed, and the front entry just gleams.

Remember how we started? No? Well, prepare yourself. Like this:
