After a couple of years I finally got around to adding a deck at the entry to my shop. I had some synthetic deck boards left over from a job, bought a couple of 2x's for framing to add to some of the stuff I had laying around, so for about $50 I ended up with a new porch! Its only 4' x 8' but thats big enough to get in and out of the building. I plan on adding a brick sidewalk leading up to it at some point. Also would like to put a small roof over to protect the door a bit during rain. I had a crazy idea of use a Trans Am hood I have laying around but my wife nixed that idea (besides it has a hole in it, LOL)

Looks good Kerry but now I'm thinking a trunk lid with a spoiler will be on my barn. Thanks a lot.....

Kerry,

I just have to smile when I see this!

My brother in-law is a long-retired contractor. For decades he had a pretty good size business going. I can't tell you how many times he took materials that were the wrong size, color or just leftover and incorporated them into his home or shop.

Nice work, as usual!  You and Jack make your projects look great.  Mine, not so much.

Looks great Kerry, now stop futzin around and clean up those leaves.

Since its a stoop I figure I could put it here. Back entrance to my kitchen. 20+yrs old and tired. Nails rotted off and the steps got loose. I had some salvage material I took off a deck with synthetic boards, and a couple of new pieces of treated. Some 'scrap' pvc trim board for a major improvement. This is the entrance my dog used to use and he had the storm door scratched up. Need to replace that now and paint the frame.

Took a couple of hours and cost about $50 for some framing lumber.

Now that really makes an impact.

Looks great!

Now its time to powerwash and start the weed pulling!

Nice upgrade.  Home improvement never ends, does it?
