The gazebo/arbour is finished. Yippee.
Now she want a box to keep the soil in for the honeysuckle and jasmin to grow in. Sort of a big wooden plant pot.
So while I think about that I thought I'd show you the "tool" in use (not me).
Unfortunately none of these are up to the very high standard set by MickiJayne. As for time lapse photography; forget it.

Here are two photos of the tool in position around the partly rolled roof panel, notice the boy scout reef knots.




Here is the last panel being lifted into place.


And finally the small opening that I had to squeeze through to reach the fixings. Next time I will borrow some scaffolding.Mind with a little bit of luck this lot will last longer than me, so hopefully no next time.

I thought that it was about time to show you the end result.
With Gwen's ongoing chest problems and her hospital sojourns I've had my mind on other things, but whilst having breakfast in the sun I realised a couple of photos would finish my sorry tale.

Here is the finished Gazebo/arbour.


Here is the wooden plant pot(a box of soil) with honeysuckle planted and starting to grow up one of the legs.


OK, I'll admit it, I've had a lazy breakfast, what do you expect with Gwen in Hospital?
