Also on Monday, the roofers installed the shingles on the back porch roof. It's not a huge step forward, but it had been delayed for quite a while.

That golden hue is a result of pics taken at sunset.

I like the way the porch breaks up the back wall. The stacked plywood you see in the pics is for finishing the ceiling. It's going to be all cedar, and I'll stain it natural and seal it. You can just make out the French doors that connect the porch to the dining room.
