Remember that stamped concrete post I reposted last month? So I arrived up my family’s house outside London, Ontario last night and they’re just completing a renovation of their beautiful late 1800s country farm house and check out the front porch they’re working on!
This is such a great solution. It’s not necessarily a cheaper solution (initially) than if you’re looking a wood decks/porches, but it will last you a lot longer. If you’re going to pour concrete anyway, it’s a really practical solution and gives you a really nice look. And, you can choose from a wide variety of looks–patterns, width, color, etc. Since they have a farmhouse they went for a kind of washed, worn wide board.
Ok, off to go hang with the family. So nice to be up in the Great White North! Especially after seven hours in the car by myself with a 6 month old, three year old and five year old!
