Porch, and the beauty of cedar

Cedar went in for the porch decking. We decided to use 2 inch thick boards for extra sturdiness. It's a LOVELY shade of purple! The sun will bleach it grey if we don't coat it with poly, so we will probably do that soon. We treated the rest of the floor joists of the porch with poly, and will do the same for the rest of the floor joists that we can get to.

 

 Here's a view from up in the loft out of our windows. I like that I can see Blueberry Row from my bed... I'd like to keep an eye on those nibbly deers!

 

 One of the rafters up there is really cool; it still has bark and lichen on it:

 

 This is the view down the ladder:
