Front porch through the years


You don't know how awesome I think this is! The top left is Ralph's great-grandfather (Savinetti) who built the house in 1927. The top right photograph is Ralph's grandfather and father in the 1960's. The bottom left photo is when we first were moving into and renovating the house in 2007. The bottom right is Ralph on the porch, present day. We will have to re-create the two older ones with Ralph sitting in his suit; and then Ralph and Jake dressed up for Easter Sunday (maybe first communion?).

Garage before and after


We removed the sagging old wood garage door, replaced it with a shiny new vinyl one. Then we repainted the garage and replaced the roof. It looks like a brand new building! (Our neighbor cut down their enormous oak tree too.) Next up is a new driveway in the spring to complete the exterior renovations (for now).
