[Closed] Today on the New Yankee Workshop...*

[img* Anyone else own a lumberjack shirt with "I want to bear Norm's children" on the back? Just me? Oh well.... Today on middleclassworld we'll be building a pergola. For Binners', deadlydarcy and Fred's benefit, it's a wooden frame structure for growing vines and climbing plants up as well as providing shade in a garden. Often found on posh houses ;) Timber arrived this morning. Yesterday I installed the metalwork, some chemically bonded bolts in the terrace, driven 2'6" post spikes in the path below the gravel and some joist hangers on the house wall. [imgNot sure whether Ill get it all done today as I have some other chores to do and it depends on how much fancy work I do to rafter ends....

Not bad. 8.2/10.

If you'd used joints instead of just screwing everything together, it would have been a 9. Coming along nicely.

(garden looks great 8) )
