Okay, so it's been awhile since I posted. There's a very good reason for that. We went through the most stressful, demanding, and challenging team building exercise I have experienced.
We had to build a pergola.
It we prefabricated so all we had to do was put it together like a giant set of Lincoln Logs right? Easy! Well... when all your wood has sat outside for months in the rain and snow, it kind of warps and things don't fit like they should. We were also fighting the wind and snow every step of the way. I'm not even going to get into the least helpful directions I have ever seen that came with it.
So, we had to chisel every hole and notch so they fit together like they were supposed to in the first place.... We got it together.... upside down.
And after a lot of work, right-side up!!!!
From there on it was smooth sailing! Well, until we realized that the last team poured the back footers too short. But we decided that was an issue for when it gets warmer! So we just built the rest of the roof, secured the front two posts, and called it good!
(The one on the right is ours.)
Also, shout out to Leo and the team because the skills I learned with you all were invaluable here!
