I took advantage of the warm weather 40* today, and built this Pergola (12'x15') to give me a place to go relax outside and enjoy the abundant wildlife in the area. We often use the elevated floor (7 feet to the ground) to shoot at various targets in the back yard.
It was nice to have all the ducks flying overhead, and watching all the deer going across the pond in the middle of the swamp to get to the island while building this. It's just relaxing to be out here.
I call the place "The Outback Bar & Grill". Next on the "To Do" list is the standing seam metal roof that is going to finish it off and offer us a little more shade.
