A preview of coming attractions

We worked too hard yesterday in 100 degree heat (well over that in heat index) for me to not document our day's work. I started at 7 a.m. while Dale went to a men's breakfast. He came home and started around 9:00, I guess. Our primary focus was the pergola and lattice on the north side of the garage. I stained both sides of the lattice with 2 coats of solid color stain. Dale primed the pergola framework and gave it one coat of stain. I also stained the underside of the back porch. That was fun, crawling around on rocks and disturbing the spiders that live there. I quit at 4:30 and cleaned up. Dale worked until 5. I just took a detail shot of one side since you can't get the full effect until we do the brackets and garage door. We'll have some touch-up to do later, as it's impossible not to get primer and stain on the already-painted garage walls.
