First Smoke on the New Porch!

[chilllucky]

In about 8 months time, this will be a covered porch with sunset views. Just through the door behind me will be a built in display cabinet for my wife's and my pipes and tobaccos.

Right now it's cold and the ground is uneven and littered with framing cut offs, but I can already feel myself falling out of time, into a zone of relaxation that I will enjoy from this spot for decades to come.

The Country Squire Cowboy Coffee in a 4th Generation sandblast bent brandy.

Porch off of the pipe room and a wife who also loves pipes! My friend, you are living the high life!

Looks like there’s more being built in the background. Are you building a full house?

I am fortunate indeed. Yes, it's a whole new home build. Trying to make it as energy efficient and healthy as we can now, so that we can afford to live here in retirement.

Very Nice, looking forward to the pics of the pipe cabinet!

The porch has been christened!

You should post some photos of your progress so we can see the evolution of a great smoking space!

When we built our house it was a very stressful time. I’ll enjoy a cigar on the deck or porch but it was built with the knowledge that it always going to be a pipe friendly environment.

Awesome plans, wishing you and your family blessings and many happy years in your new home!

I can probably pull that off, so long as you're willing to wait for the built in cabinet pics. I'm on the hook for all the trim carpentry and cabinetry in the house and that one is way down on the priority list.

First is the staircase that has to be done to get an occupancy permit.

What a difference a week makes!

Still cold out, but we enjoyed cigars from what will become our closest B&M when we move up this way. The Happy Piper in Janesville, WI.

Very nice! Hope it brings you years of enjoyment. I'm enjoying a bowl right now in the man cave. Beautiful day here in Florida, for and windows open while I watch Clark and the Iowa girls play Illinois.
