The trellis privacy structure slowly rises in the backyard by the spa. Don't worry, I'll be staining it a redwood color. The third post has yet to be set before the concrete gets poured and the lattice work panels between each post. #backyardproject

Oranges and lemon slices float in a dark red liquid inside a large jug. There is a red bottle of wine on the stove and a bottle of dark rum on the counter.

they changed the forecast. no wind and we have a wonderful layer of fog keeping the sun at bay! If this can just last for the next four hours I should be able to get the second shed built!!

wish me luck!

Greenhouse update!
Got the roof finished. Ridge cap was a challenge oddly, but we got it there. A punch of the facia is on and other trim. Some more windows. Getting there!! Oh and we put up the rooster wind vein!

looking up the ladder toward the two end rafters held in the air just by a chunk of 2x4 looking up through the studs as the big 2x6 goes up between the rafters from a distance, the end rafters in place with the top board

achievement unlocked!

just before I got stuck on the curb, I put the trailer back around in the back!

Managed to move and level enough of the dirt to make a spot for the trailer!

Perfect little spot :)

the small trailer is in the corner atop the levelled dirt

#pondpool liner is going in!
Wasn't as hard to unroll as I anticipated but hard enough for 200lbs of rubber!
#backyardproject
A large roll of rubber Matt lays partially unfilled in the yard beside a large hole lined with fabric. The unfilled role lies beside the long hole. It is quite a bit longer than the hole.

View from the surface of the water in the pond. Looking up towards the back gate. The mounds of dirt along the transfer are visible behind lining of the pool. There's a blue chair. looking from the pond shed. Rubber ducky is upside down. A little unicorn thermometer floats in the water underneath the flat rocks of the waterfall

The water is surprisingly chilly but on 35°C day, it is absolutely perfect.

A Spanish flag hangs from a pole against the clear blue sky. It is over a grape arbour on the corner of a house.
