    Beach Cabin Screened in Porch: ORC, Week 6

    May 9, 2019 /

    The Beach Cabin Screened In Porch is finished! Sort of. I could blame it on the rain. Or a busy spring. Or training for a 25k. I could… Anyway, the porch is mostly finished. I’d love to add a new wall light. It has been purchased but needs to be installed. I also had grand plans of adding some curtains out there. We’ll see. The sailing line plans are also on a brief hold. (You can read all about them in last week’s post here.) In fact, if you are new here and want to catch up on the topsy turvy Beach Cabin Screened In Porch plans, you can click on…

    Beach Cabin Porch, ORC Week 5

    May 4, 2019 /

    Hi there! It has been raining almost all week (and even snowed last Saturday!) which made painting the Beach Cabin Porch difficult to say the least. The rain finally cleared on Friday and our family is spending the weekend enjoying the nice spring weather. I may have even asked/begged for a little help getting the porch ready.

    How to Update a Porch in 10 Steps, A Beach Cabin Update (ORC Week 3)

    April 18, 2019 /

    Why am I always surprised when it snows in April? It seems like it always snows in April in Michigan. So, I’m just going to use the snow as my excuse for minimal progress on the Beach Cabin Porch. As such, a good old list is in order to get me organized and motivated. Keep reading for my plan on How to Update a Porch in 10 Steps.

    Porch Furniture Options: ORC Week 2

    April 10, 2019 /

    Porch Plans Hi there! The plan for this week was to prep the porch for some new paint but I didn’t make it out to the Beach Cabin when the weather was nice earlier this week and now we are expected to get an ice storm tonight. So those plans will have to wait. In the meantime, I thought I’d give you a quick round up of our porch furniture options.
