These are pics from our industrious Memorial weekend. We have been wanting to build a pergola over our back patio for some time but Aaron has been very busy with improvements at Meredith College so we got started this past weekend. Again, these pics are a testament to having good neighbors. We had lots of help and between all of our friends - lots of tools! You can see Todd, Richard, and Dwayne pitching in and Aaron posing next to his prized banana tree. My job was to keep the lemonade, beer, and snacks coming and to prepare dinner. Small price to pay! The frame is completely built so we just need to add the rafters to the top. So far it looks great! We will probably finish it this week so we'll post finished pics along with other home improvements soon.

I have to ask: what's a pergola? Will it keep you shaded and cool? Is there an anti-pergola that we could build to bring warmth and sun to our little north-facing corner of our side yard here in Cambridge... it just looks like quite a project, and yeah, good thing that friends can help.
Go go power tools guys!
Keep the lemonade flowing, Stacey!
Love to get the comments, Sunessa! A pergola is an open structure w/ rafters on top so it is very open but you can grow vines on it to provide more shade so its cooler to hang out in back yard in summer. We had neighbors over for dessert tonight and it already adds so much to the yard - can't wait 'til its done! Will provide pics! Hope you guys are well!
