New Porch!

It's actually really hard to tell from these too pictures, but the one on the left is the before where the porch on the left side started to drop down. Now, we don't have a slab moving away from the house any more!! Hooray! We finally decided after all pointless work done on it--trying to mudjack and then having the company tell us it was going to be another $4500 to put in ONE pier--to go ahead and redo the whole thing. So....we contacted a friend of Josh's family, who works in concrete and asked him what he would do. He recommended someone and we went with him. They raised up the roof over the porch to where it should be and then tore out all the concrete and formed it up again and poured new stuff. Then our carpenter repaired our posts, where needed, and added new bases at the bottom. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be money wise and it took a couple weeks, but it was definitely worth it! Now you all have to stop by and have a sit with us on it....

Unfortunately, I did not think to get pictures of the demolition, but I did get one picture of the poured stuff (oh and its flush with the house like its supposed to be!):
