Patio, meet Pergola




The weekend after our patio was poured Kevin couldn't wait to get started on building the pergola. We acquired the wood on Thursday and Saturday morning Kevin got started, with Alan's help they got the four corner posts put up in no time. The rest of the weekend saw the rest of the pergola go up with little incident. I love the immediate gratification of having a structure where there wasn't one a few days earlier. Kevin would tell the gratification wasn't so immediate for him, but he's pleased none the less. He got it done just in time for Olivia's 7th birthday party. Above is a picture to show you what the pergola looks like when people are sitting under it. Lovely, right? We are now in the market for a fantastic set of patio furniture to complete the grandeur of the backyard...
