Pergola Site

About 12 hours of milling got the pieces cut, shaped, chopped and beveled.  One 35 Gal garbage can full of cutoff pieces and sawdust!  Now for the fun part - no electricity out by the pond - hope I didn't forget anything.

 Sarah had mowed to help mark the location but she and Sandy had not finalized the location.  So we walked about and sized things up from every direction and began the first holes.

 A few hours later the calvery arrived in time for the other two holes (yes Sarah and I are thoughtful and patient diggers).  Sandy's truck makes easy work of delivering the "kit" to the site on the far side of the pond.

 

 Morgan and Quinn made short work of the digging and waisted little time in turning work into fun.

  

 

First attempts at hammering the pieces parts together, failed.  The ends make it through the mortise but will go no further.   I think I need a bigger hammer (and other tools)!
