A Mistake

Yesterday I painted the porch what I thought was going to be a very nice rich, deep gray.  According to the chip, anyway.  As you can see, it did not turn out that way.  Looks like white, right?  To say the least, I could not get up to the paint store for a different color fast enough. 

Here is the completed paint job with the right color.  More of a brownish gray.  Color picking out is not my forte by a long shot!

We also are taking this time of good weather to improve the drainage on the east side of the root cellar. 

Albert had to dig the ditch deeper to install a drainage pipe at the proper level to flow out and down from the building.

We also had another load of pit run brought in on the south side entryway.  We will be putting on the porch on this side soon.

And just so you know, Mom says that these are porches, not decks. There was no such thing as decks back in the day.  Decks were on ships, not houses.
