I am so proud of Curtis. He single handedly built our home a pergola, a shade structure to cover our back patio. Nathan and I helped him out a little bit but we were only his holders-of-posts and his handers-of-tools. It was his own blood (just a little bit) sweat and tears (actually just more sweat running down his face) that got the job done.
My Guys
What was even more amazing to me was how he planned and prepped and measured the whole thing himself. He didn't have a blue print or pattern to follow, it was all done in his head. Way to go Babe! He was so cute when he would put something together and realize that he had gotten it level or perfectly measured and cut the first time, he would literally burst with delight.
Day 1: measuring, cutting, marking posts
Day 2: post and first beams are in place
I was not so good about taking pictures of every day's progress, because during the week Curtis would work on it a little here and there. But after the 2nd weekend (and a half dozen trips to Home Depot) he got it done!
Yeah for more shade!

That looks great. I totally didn't take Curtis for the building kind of guy. Good for him!
