I love coming out to California because Liz and Amy are liable to have projects for me - things to fix or things to work on together. This trip is no different. Liz and Sarah had a structure already in place in the driveway in front of their garage and they wanted to turn it into a pergola, which would shield that part of the driveway from the sun. So we went off to Home Depot this morning to buy some 2x4's and 2x6's because we weren't sure which size would look good for the purlins on top of the structure. When we got home we just rested some of both sizes of wood on top of the structure to see which would have the most pleasing design. It's fun to go shopping together and discuss how to do the project.
Here Liz is measuring the distance from the garage out to the mid point to determine the spacings of the purlins. the photo gives you an idea of what the structure looks like now.

You two make a great team and are always up for a challenge! I think back when Liz was in New York helping you put a new roof on your garage years ago. Looking good!
