Our Entire Weekend- Building a Patio Cover


PHOTO #1- Before anything.
Home projects never end with us, and this weekend was a BIG one. Tom designed a wood-frame patio cover to be built over our new concrete patio. We bought some supplies Friday night, more Saturday and more Sunday.

PHOTO #2 - First framing is up.
Our friend Jack spent the entire Saturday with us, working from 11am to 6pm. Our neighbor Harry came over, too, and brought tons of tools. We think he has everything.

PHOTO #3 - Rob the Job Photographer - self pic...is that Jack's behind?
Rob photographed this one all by himself! What talent!

PHOTO #4 - Sunday's Job with Tom and Rob (and some great help from neighbor Harry)- the ROOF went on... (just needs the tar part next weekend.

In short, we spent a total of almost 16 hours on this project today - just building it, not including buying the stuff and transporting it. It's Sunday night at 9pm EDT, and we're both exhausted and aching all over.
That was a weekend??
