...we're replacing/re-doing/re-inventing our front entryway. The little shed roof was never a good design. When it rained, the roof ensured you would get dripped on as you stepped onto the entry porch. Made out of untreated cedar, the front porch had rotted away last summer to the point that Trevor fell through it. While I was able to put duct tape on that temporarily, what we needed was a whole new entry. Found this entry design in a Timberframe homes magazine ad. When a walnut tree fell down on the community property, I bought it, and had it sawn in twain. Now, John Garlow, the guy who did our addition, and a post&beam expert, has framed it in something like the picture shown. Ours will not be so grandiose (no upper roof), single, not double door. New cement front porch may be poured today!

Wow. That will look great. We expect to see a picture of the entry when it is done.
And have we decided what to do with the walnut for BSD???
I still think the mantle is the way to go. I'll pick up the piece soon and store it in the garage. Do you want me to ship it out there so it will be there when you're there in August? There was that business we saw in Big Sky that I thought might be able to install it. Didn't write down their name, but it was over in the new town center area...
