The Other Green Monster

A view from the side, through the big ass tree in the front. A week ago, the tree had so many low branches that hung over the sidewalk and that blocked the sun completely. There were no railings on the porch, and the support posts were rotten.

There is something sublime about taking a SawzAll to a house. The feeling of satisfaction as the old is demolished, and the new appears. The intense pleasure is dissapated by the fact that someone else is wielding the tool, but still, it is pretty cool.

This picture is taken after the mismatched forest green screen door is sent packing. Plans for the outside include replacing the rickety hand rails on the stairs, painting the porch floor some color other than pine tree green, and installing black shutters on the windows. Oh, and the front door will be stripped bare and painted a glossy black.
