Mid-progress shot of the project that never ends   We have been working so hard to get the posts in place in front of our recently added garden area. We had one set of posts in place, and thought we could easily replace the missing tops and bottoms of them.  But they were going to […]

This pergola swing has been an ongoing project.  Do you remember when we started this.  I believe it was July 4 weekend.  Then it rained for 40 days and 40 nights.  Honestly, the project got put on hold for WEEKS because of the mud around that area.  We then got the brick pad done under […]
