Aah! Relaxing after a hard day’s work!
Aah! Relaxing after a hard day’s work!
A view of the house before we took down the awnings and put up the pergola.
Our first two posts. The tiny red dot to the left of the far post, near the top, is our string level. We used it to make sure we were putting up the beams at the correct height.
Since this is an outdoor project, we wanted materials that would resist rot or decay. I also wanted materials that were ‘green’ (or at least non-toxic). So we used construction-grade redwood instead of pressure-treated pine. Andrea, myself, and Andrea’s dad all sanded and sealed the wood before we put it up.
The awnings were relatively easy to take down. There was a lot of paint covering the screws and we had to do some noodling to figure out how the things come apart, but in the end we were victorious!
