WHEN WILL IT STOP!

As you know, we have been building a new Gazebo.  Well, it still is not finished. 

What I thought would be a simple four posts, open sides and a roof has turned into a monster!

I wanted to have it look like a cool hippie outdoor room.  I had the idea to use old window frames to make it look like a real room, which we did.

Now my husband, sometimes, let's building structure on the farm get away from him.  What started out simple just keeps getting more complicated.

I wanted a flat roof, I thought that would be easier, but of course once the walls were up it was obvious a peak would be better.  We are working on the roof today, hopefully it will be done by Saturday.  Then we have to paint it, thank goodness we have a sprayer.  I really never thought a 12 by 12ft. open structure could be so intricite and take such a long time to build.

I know it will be gorgeous when it is done, but boy there are a lot of beams and side pieces in it.  Well, stay tuned, hopefully I will be showing you the completely finished Monster Gazebo by mid week.

  3. Oh Sue it is beautiful. I agree wish the faeries would pop in an help. Maybe they are, but you know they sometimes take their own time. Can't wait to see it finished.I have a concrete face just like yours in my little garden.
