Life on Van Island

Voila!! After much work (and some moments of frustration), we have a new front steps.

There is still more work to do (adding the final two stair banisters, putting in paving stones at the bottom of the stairs, painting the stair risers, facia boards and front door, replanting the flower bed etc.) but for now, we have a very functional front entrance that (*gasp*) actually looks like a front entrance! And... it reached completion in the nick of time.
