11-12-11 Because the posts shifted, Erin cut on 3 sides, straightened and rewelded - straight again!
-
Once beam is welded, the "tab" is removed. Erin gets creative when working alone!

Erins taps it into place on one end . . . then the other

Once complete, we'll have vines, hanging plants, etc.!

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
-
Erin welded a little "tab" onto the beam so he could support the beam up high while welding it in place
