That’s a big-ass pile of pressure-treated lumber, all stickered for airflow. Needs to be a bit drier before I can work with it. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

The old pergola (or is it an arbour?) was half-dismantled, leaving the sides only, to hold up the grapevine. The new bits should be able to slide in behind the old bits. This project would be a lot easier if it was just out in a field somewhere. All these obstructions (grapevine, fence, stairs, house) make it an interesting challenge…
