The most expensive part of the job was using pvc trim

All done except for the painting. Just over 100 hours to get to this point. The ceiling inside is covered with painted OSB . It may get bead board in the future

It is big, it was a duplex when built in the 1840/50's. The back end last 3 windows are part of the 15x24 kitchen

Very nice porch build/rebuild. smiley_thumbsup OSB is sorta bad about bleeding through. I guess that it is the adhesives.

Thank you for all the comments. The building inspector thought it look good also. It was his grandmothers house when I bought it and had been in his family for over 100 years. Saturday I rebuilt the little cellar window with the pvc trim scraps. This window frame will not rot out in 10 years like the last one

I'll bet the inspector likes coming out to visit the house.
And what your doing to preserve it.
