The barn porch rotted wood replacement project continues.

.

.

Or rather, it continued without me noticing and is now complete.

.

.

(Yes, the left hand post still dips… but that’s a frost heaving, ever shifting Maine ground problem.)

And while my husband used similarly weathered boards…

.

.

They still don’t match the existing and stick out like a sore thumb because he refused to replace the entire length of the boards like I suggested.

.

.

This anomaly doesn’t bother my husband, but will drive me nuts for years to come.

And did you happen to notice anything else amiss on the porch?

.

.

Perhaps the furniture that I had recovered a few years back at a rather large expense?

.

.

A cushion is missing.

As in… gone.

We noticed the other chair cushion had been torn, or more precisely… chewed. And there was stuffing blowing here and there around the bottom of the barn so as crazy as it sounds, we think it was stolen.

By the critters.

Most likely the by Momma chuck who nests and has babies under there every year.

Ordinarily this would piss me off to no end, but I’ve been wanting to replace this set for some time so now seems as good a time as any.
