For the past year, we have struggled with the 'lovely' steps coming off the back porch. Finally, we have been able to get help making this area look better. 
CB's brother works making decks and other construction jobs. He came on his time off and transformed the back entry into the porch. It looks SO much different. You can see from the before and after pictures that things are NOT the same.
If you look really hard and imagine... there was a really nice 1940's-like indoor-outdoor carpet covering the cement stairs going onto the porch. Oh yeah, really nice!!!
We LOVE our new look. Plus, there is space to put flowers or a little lawn chair to read outside and catch some of this early fall sunshine. The dogs LOVE the wooden steps and find it a great place to take a little doggie nap in the sun whenever I am home from the office.
This might be the last job of the 2007 year. BUT, we still have the steps off the front of this porch to finish. The wood is sitting in the back yard...now it is finding the time to make the small deck porch and stairs. Whew..almost ready for snow to get here!!! Naw... just kidding!

Looks nice. The fall temps haven't made there way down here quite yet as it is supposed to be in the mid 90's again this week. I am so ready for fall...Heck, I'd take a little snow right now to cool the air off! Bring it on!
Looks good!! You have made so many improvements I bet the old owners wouldn't recognize the place.
