Although it would be nice to have the “Yard Crashers” crew come do something with our yard.
Anyway…
This is what I spend Monday doing. Or building, actually.
This is the pergola over the side door. It’s the first of four large pergolas that will be built. The other three will over the back porch at different heights.
When completed, they will all be covered with clear (or smoked) corrugated plastic roof panels so we can use the outdoor space during rainy weather, and we collect rainwater runoff for the ponds and flowerbeds in the yard.
I’m wore out.
Until next time...
Looking good! I love a handy… Man.
Oh, and just so you know, I don’t think Yard Crashers does “Arkansas”.
Thanks! I love a handy man as well. Hairy also helps 😉
And no one seems to “do” Arkansas. *sigh*
You’ve got great skills…sword-fighting skills, nunchuk skills, pergola-building skills…
My nunchuk skills are legendary!
Who knew you were sooooooooooo butch! Love the pergola – looks great! Can’t wait to see the entire project completed, you little yard-maven you!
LOL… I have my moments! I can’t wait until it’s completed too. Somehow, the word “completed” though is usually replaced with “is continually added on to”.
in our part of the woods,,collecting rainwater like that is actually illegal!!!
they say it deprives people of public waters – what nonsense!!
Collecting rainwater is illegal? Where did that law come from?
You need a long massage from me!
I’m gonna hold you to that offer!
Why do I want to paraphrase a song from Grease?
“You’ve got skills, they’re multiplyin’…”
Very impressed!
As for the poll, it is legal in the UK to collect rainwater but only for outside use. Why you can’t use it to flush loos is beyond me. Water companies would get less money I guess.
i love that pic of you. very handsome.
*blush* Thank you. I guess I take better ones when I’m completely worn out…
WOW!! That is going to look AWESOME!!! You’ve done quite a bit since we were last there.
Thanks! I was trying to remember what we actually had completed when you guys were here last. Had the side porch been poured yet?
Wish you could help us
