Cleaning out the Porch

We need to clean out the front porch for a number of reasons. It is getting late in the season, and we do not want our paint and supplies to freeze over winter, we are at the point that we can start to take some tools and materials home, and we are anticipating guests over the Labor Day Holiday. We are planning on setting up the futon in the porch as soon as it is complete.

Once the items are removed from the area, CMV and AMV are going to paint the walls and ceiling. Our plan is to install a wooden floor that can be removed in sections if the need arises. I am unsure how dry the area stays in the winter. It has been a bare concrete floor for so long, that I don't know how the elements will treat the wood. We are going to use a pine plank and then paint it to resemble an old porch floor.



The only picture I have is of the porch almost cleaned out. You can see the futon frame and some trim against the wall.
