I was stepping down the steps (I only have 2) on my back porch when part of the wood gave way! Of course I attribute this to all the rain that we have been getting in the Philadelphia area - in fact we have gotten quite a bit of rain in the last few months!
I would guess that the back porch is at least 10 years old and the whole back porch is made of wood and I'm really thinking how grateful I am that it was just the steps and not another part of the porch that gave way! (I just thought about this as I was typing this blog post!)
So now I have another repair that has to be done! I wonder how much it is going to cost me? No matter though because it is a repair that has to be done!
Mentally I'm going to have to remind myself to step carefully when I use those steps!
