Now For The Building!

I have finished staining the redwood, again.  It was just too orange and not a rich enough color so I got out the stain and did it all over again.  In a way it was good.  It gave me time to draw out the plans, again, and I realized that I needed two more long pieces and that I wouldn't like the redwood attached directly to the antique window.

So I adjusted, the window will "be suspended" in the middle of the trellis, Jon thinks the new idea will still be structurally sound, and I have the parts.  Should I warn him that he, of course, will get snookered into helping with this little project when I can't drill, measure or screw anything straight?  Naw !  Will he be surprised ?  Naw!

To make it up to him, I guess I should get the pegboard up in the shed . .  for which I also have all the parts.  I will get right to that as soon as Gabriel and I get finished watching George of the Jungle . . . while his bird feeder dries, next to Garrett's bird feeder, which is already dry and waiting for it's coat of varnish.  Why did I start let them this week . . . oh yeah, Garrett saw them and got so excited.  He didn't whine to make his, so I rewarded him.  Only three more to go!!
