Bravo!!

The thing with these one “man-builds X” series on YT is that most of them have access to hudreds-of-thousands dollar worth of tools and equipment. Which 99% of us don’t have, nor can we invest on unless we do these sort of thing commercially.

@germanlopez4040 Год назад

You could buy all of that for 1,000 to 1,500 dollars. You could like me start to buy some tools and then add more to your inventory with time.

@irenetovar7756 4 года назад

I love this pergola. Well done.

@sportscarclinic 4 года назад

Great job. As I watched you wield a persuader to mate the rafters to the beams, a lesson I've learned when building outdoor projects in the NW came to mind: the end grain shoulders of the notches on the rafters aren't going to dry much when tightly fitted, and they will expand in the wet seasons, slowing crushing the cell walls of the beam while driving in moisture. Even Cedar is subject to rot sooner than you'd think--unless you source old growth. It's tempting to always want to show off precision, but a bit looser fit, consistent of course, will last a lot longer. Alternatively, it pays to take the extra time required to apply end grain preservative, especially on the tenon shoulders, which being horizontal, will trap and hold moisture every time it rains.

I’ve been building a pergola over the patio I made out front of our house. It’s about 16x 9 so a decent size. I’ve spent about a month working here and there, mainly on the weekends but I am also sanding every board and staining. It’s such a huge improvement to the front and people are amazed at how it’s turning out. Nothing better then having neighbors ask you if you charge to do this work. Heh. Long as you are creative handy with tools anyone can build these. Having the right tools is a major help also.

Planted a single Wisteria plant along a new cedar fence with lattice top thinking it would look cute. After a few years the vine had literally strangled, crushed and deformed my fence. It's like slow motion violence combined with Shackleton's wooden ship ripped apart by pack ice. Ruined the fence and then proceeded to climb and strangle a nearby cedar tree up to 30 foot heights. Plant should come with a waning label.
