The Gazebo

We had laid out the location of the gazebo earlier but this morning construction began.
It was great to watch it grow from a few stakes in the ground to a 2x12 box to sticking up 4x4's to a frame with a floor, all of which begins to look seriously like a gazebo.
The guys got onto a "roll" and within a remarkably short time there was an obvious gazebo forming. Things went very well all morning and we were lucky to have no rain at all - and actually, mid morning, the clouds began to thin out and blue sky and some sun appeared, though it was still quite cool - nice for working.
The pace slowed a bit when it became clear that there wasn't enough cedar to finish the knee walls and the upper frame, so just afternoon Rick ordered the needed lumber and the guys decided to go golfing. In addition, Rick had inadvertently ordered too little of the decking so a bit of plywood was put in place until the decking is available.
Tomorrow they will divide their time between the cabin and the gazebo. Andy needs to leave tomorrow so they are going to do some work on the cabin which requires 3 people before Andy has to leave.
The gazebo is going to be great - it's relatively high so gives a commanding view of the lake to both the south and the west.
Andy has offered to build a table and benches for inside the gazebo. He is going to prepare some diagrams of his ideas about this.
I took quite a few photos - many are not very good. I have picked acceptable ones to show bits of the progress through the morning.
More tomorrow.
