Here we have before and (almost) after pictures of the porch. The old railings were in pretty good shape, but the spindles had been replaced on the lower level. We've restored the lower level banister to its original appearance so that it matches the upper level.
In the after picture, most of the trim pieces have been installed, but there's still painting to do. The lattice between the brick columns is also new. The old ones were falling apart and couldn't be salvaged.
The old handrail on the stairs was removed - it didn't really fit the style of the house. We're still working on what we'll use to replace it.
The power lines have been temporarily moved to the ground while all this work has been taking place. We plan to have them buried and upgrade the electrical service soon. We'll also have the cable TV and phone run underground at the same time.
