      Last Wednesday I picked up a load of treated lumber . Yesterday and   
   today I used that lumber to build a new front porch - I already had the   
   roof built - on our house . The original started life as a hallway from   
   the camper to the new living room when I started construction of the   
   house , and it was in pretty sad condition . I still have a couple of   
   deck boards to fit and install , and I'll be building railings along 2   
   sides and a short section on a third .   
      In other news , I'm working on some parts for a sawmill . It uses   
   hydraulics and the design of the control lever pivot mounts is weak .   
   I'm modifying the new pivot mounts to make them stronger .
