Porch posts too…
The final stage of outdoor work is about to commence. I got word yesterday that the reclaimed 6 x 6 straight-grained fir posts for our porch are due to arrive sometime within the next two or three days. (Perhaps an after-Thanksgiving project?) Also, the stone guys are scheduled to return on Friday or Monday to start replacing the temporary wooden steps with their permanent counterpart.
The question that remains is whether to choose bluestone or limestone for the stair treads. The limestone is beautiful, but I suspect that it’s more porous than the bluestone and therefore more likely to stain.
Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated.
