I just bought the same pergola myself! You did a great job sir. I have to ask though, why did you repaint? Rust prevention? Unnoticed you painted inside the pieces also
neat and nice, very nice. awesome job, did you use anything to hold stones near pergola, or is it just stones on top of each other?
nice job my wife wants it
good job but I have that done 5 to six day brother to much waste of time ,money and labor .
are those the Countryside pavers from lowes(what color) and is that also where your Pergola came from
Thank you for your video. It helped me build mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DpY31HhL1Y
I need to exchange my husband for a new one. He wouldn't never do something like this to our house! Nice job, your wife is a lucky lady!
Nice work! Around how much did this cost? I checked the comments and you never answered the questions about cost
what do you do in your spare time? I mean for a real job? It is so well done wonder if you have any experience in building. just curious!
How much did this cost?
Not bad! I worked with my dad over summer doing these types of jobs, I bet bringing in the crush was a pain by wheel barrel lol. Only thing I noticed is that when you lay brick you want to level the entire area. Makes it ease diet than by sections. Then do a outside frame with the bricks, work your way from one side. And try to leave minimal pieces with cuts (looks nicer), and try to put those cut pieces towards the siding of the house so they are not noticeable. Just a future tip, again nice job, it's really not that bad as people think, but it can be a good amount of work if you rush it and make mistakes.
Very cool! What's the name of the song you're playing?
hello and thank you for posting! your work is inspiring and brilliant. i'm prepping to 'permeable pave' my lot and my first task is to remove an attached deck. this means temporary steps. you mention dry stacking before permanent adhesive (not new, but excellent advice on its own). is this what you did for the steps – no concrete foundation? no code/inspection for below 30in here, so i'm looking for inexpensive but attractive alternatives to wood. thank you. namaste.
so how was the pergola anchord? i missed it, you guys were working too fast.
Where did you get the shade material thats on the pergola?
