Erin finds ways to do things on his own - taking a beam up the ladder!
The 4 corner posts will be covered in wood, then wood across top
There's electricity for fun outside lights in the pergola!
Our pergola is taking shape, no longer metal posts sticking up!
Once the beam is welded in place, he cuts off the little tab
