Pergola finished - epic 1

Started the project late June.  Milling the rough redwood from the previous post.  Finished the pergola over the weekends in what must have been the absolute hottest days we've had in Oregon, ever.

This was an incredible amount of work.  It took a tremendous amount of work to mill the redwood from rough, green slabs into the wood used for the beams, rafters and lattice.  Probably emptied the dust collector over 10 times (35 gallon).
