Countdown to Christmas

Since we last looked at this project in our October 21st post, a lot has happened. The homeowners host a large event around Christmas, so the pressure is on to complete the structure in time. When we last looked, the block was still being set for the exterior walls. Now, the roof is on, so the body of the pavilion is set.

The pergola section has been attached. This took a lot of skill and careful carpentry to tie into the structure appropriately.

Beautiful, thick beams for the pergola, and appropriately notched to fit--just what we like to see!
The wiring is in for electric and sound, so that's all good to go!

Lots of finishing and detail work yet to do, and some intricate decisions ahead with the grading and the pavers...but I think this project is on course, and will be ready for Santa's arrival. Keep your eye on it with me!
