This is the new roof and porch as seen from across Nebraska. It really changes the look of the house don't you think?
This is the view from Amber. You will notice that the porch roof extends past the existing deck. The deck will be extended all the way back to the edge of the driveway. If you look carefully just above the truck you can see the little extension of the roof over the back door that will now permit the installation of a screen security door to take advantage of the breeze in the evening.
This is the view from the back of the house. We extended the roof to cover the open storage area in the back. Dad also added a small gable in the back to vent the attic.
This is the deck view. You can also see the porch coming back around to meet the roof over the deck. What do you think of the color of the new roof? Our intention is to paint the house a tan color, add black shutters to the upstairs windows and paint the trim white. We still have not decided on shutters on the windows downstairs. Some windows don't have enough room for shutters on both sides (the girls' room) so we won't be able to do all the windows, but perhaps the front windows if we we put in a smaller window.
