Front of House

The main focus of the following posts is what I did on the inside of the house, however I thought an outside photo would give a bit of interest.

The front porch floor and some vertical supports are rotted and it will need to be rebuilt. The huge bush is a camellia and I'm debating whether to remove it and replace with a Japanese red maple. The only problem with that is that I might not live long enough to see it get to a decent size. Maybe I should just do some judicious pruning of the camellia so it doesn't hide the front so much.

The neighbor who has been mowing the yard has unknowingly been mowing down Mondo Grass, which is growing over much of the front yard. I've now told him to let it grow and fill in.
