Here is the pergola, 95% completed. We still have to bolt the top timbers and get some prettier chairs but so far so good. My hubby is awesome for always catering to my whims. He never even complains. I'll keep him.
The BBQ looks a little out of place sitting there but at least it is no longer on my walkway to the front door. Maybe someday an outdoor kitchen is in my plan, but not today. Today is just a medium style barbecue. We are also toying with adding a bar/counter top between the uprights on the far side of this picture. Then we would have food serving space or a place to eat if we want to. I wish we had built the patio a little bigger but expanding it is now out of the question. I am happy with the final product. I thought some fun Adirondack chairs in front of the fire place would be nice. And Doyle said he would look for some nice, big, flat stones to make a walkway so the lawn isn't so crunched down in front of it. Construction is hard on grass.
Ooh, I'm jealous - that looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is nice.
ReplyDeleteYeah you allready moved the furniture =)...we're about to be taking it in for the winter here lol. But the pergola looks really nice and I hope you get good weather to enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous. Yes, you really must keep him around!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's gorgeous and I wish I had one like that. Maby next year =)

Pergola looking great. You've really done a nice job.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! You two really do quality work, and fast too. It's almost like having a new room to decorate.
ReplyDeleteLooks so nice, Heather! When you get 4 feet of snow, you can build it into a square igloo. Those redwood corner beams can be your studs. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove it!!!!! It looks sooooooo good! ya'll will really enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteYour pergola is looking great!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you last night at the garden tour. It was so much fun. Hope all is well with you.
looking awesome. i am sure you will enjoy it. like other i am also getting a little but jealous :P
ReplyDeleteLooks good, Heather. I really admire how you plan your projects and then keep pushing to see them through to completion.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the patio looks like a good size to me. We made ours a little too big and I had to move the furniture in toward the center so we didn't have to shout.
Looks great. How much fun will hanging out there be? I am still amazed at your timbers.
ReplyDeleteI envy you...I've always wanted a pergola. It looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun to watch this unfold! My husband never complains either - but then again, he usually doesn't have to do anything.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! What a treat you have on your hands! I'll be over for a BBQ :)
ReplyDeleteThat really does look good and, like some of your other commenters, I am quite jealous. I got a permit to put a patio in my back yard some time ago, and alas we have still not broken ground. -At least I'll have future fodder for my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow - that looks awesome. It looks like a great place for a cool ice tea on a warm sunny day. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteFab pergola, what are you going to grow up it? I've been hankering after one for years.
ReplyDeleteLove the Pygmy's I used to have some when I was growing up, but they used to be terrible little menaces around the big herd with their horns at such a low height. Sadly not a great mix with dairy goats.
I will have to come back and investigate further, great blog!
RO :o)
Love the pergola.....it would look fantastic with a climbing flowering plant of some kind like star jasmine....we have one on ours and it looks gorgeous when in bloom!
ReplyDeleteI can see a beautiful vine covering the arbor with shade already. That Doyle's a keeper! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOH, I love it!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean always having yard projects going on. And if I don't have one, I am thinking about one.
I enjoyed visiting your blog. Your garden is wonderful.
