Yes, I live in a raised ranch! I'm glad the railings aren't wrought iron, because then I'd feel we'd have to rip them out.

It looks that way to me with the stairs coming up from the front door. I grew up in a raised ranch and the first house we owned was one too. The railings in both of those houses was black wrought-iron with twisty spindles (talk about dated!). I think your wooded railing looks much nicer. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-33502835986517163182013-11-05T19:22:24.785-05:002013-11-05T19:22:24.785-05:00I feel exhausted just reading your blog & all ...I feel exhausted just reading your blog & all that you accomplish!! Yes, the tank will be permanent because to move it again would require the water to be drained etc etc ... too much bother.
