Good morning folks! Here's what a 16x16 pergola looks like. Some assembly required. Does not include batteries.
First a railing...got most of the posts up between rainstorms. No splinters. Yet. Another shower, a couple 🍻, and off to find something for dinner.

Cut a couple more posts for temporary railing. No final design yet, just a 2x4 railing using future rafters. Might use corrugated panels. Hauled up most the lighter lumber overhanding a rope. Got some pulleys to rig a block and tackle for the 6x6s and 2x6-16s that are left. Tomorrow.
Tried taking a time lapse of setting a post. 5x is kind of like an old timey silent movie. Maybe I'll try 10x or 50x next. Note my steel-toed chanklas.
Base of 4x4s cut for posts. Also, I got a new friend from some folks I know on a nearby farm. Now friend lives next door in the rundown house with the chickens. They sure have been quiet since. 🤫
