Porch posts up

 Ten porch posts (5 on the east side and 5 on the west side) are now standing and braced awaiting the beams to go on top. 

At end of day we attended a neighborhood get-together up the hill where 7 property owners (13 of us total) gathered for nibbles and conversation, the main topic being road maintenance. Since this isn't a strict, dues-collecting HOA, contributions to the road fund are made as-needed and cooperatively (so far).
