THIS IS THE NORTH/EAST PORTAL/TRELLIS THAT WRAPS AROUND THE HOUSE. IT CAN BE ACCESSED FROM THE LIVING ROOM, THE ENTRY, THE FAMILY ROOM THE KITCHEN/DINING ROOM , AND THE MASTER BEDROOM.
INSTEAD OF WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE TO GET FROM
ROOM TO ROOM, YOU CAN USE THE PORTAL AS A SHORT CUT.
WE'RE ALMOST DONE WITH THIS PORTAL. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS BUILD UP WITH BRICK UNDER THE POSTS THAT WERE LEFT HIGH TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE, NAIL DOWN SOME LATILLAS ON THE CROSS BEAMS TO FILTER
OUT THE SUMMER SUN, AND BUILD THE FIREPLACE HEARTH.
OK, SO MAYBE WE AREN'T ALMOST DONE.
