Gazebo siding






I arrived yesterday to find Rick and Ron already here and working on the gazebo.

They accomplished a lot yesterday, though it was laying he floor and putting on the "skirts", so not particularly showy but a great job to have completed. Having the floor in made it much easier to do the work today on the knee wall sills and shoring up the racking strength of the south wall with T bars.

Also, they found when they arrived that the whole structure had shifted slightly, likely due to the wind. The curved roof may well act as a bit of a sail in a high wind so they put some anchor bars into the ground at one corner to prevent movement.

Then early afternoon they put on the corner covers, added the Tyvec and the showy bit, the cedar siding on the east and west knee walls. The south knee wall is open so will not have siding except over part of the "skirt". The north wall siding will have to wait until the electrical work is done and the door arrives.

The photos are pretty self explanatory.
