Happy Canada Day (aka Happy Gazebo Project Weekend!)
Happy Canada Day! What a weekend!
We beached all Friday afternoon. Enjoyed the campground Friday night and then slaved away all day Saturday. Mark never stopped once and it was almost 40 degrees with the humidity!
We were very pleased with the end results however
Here is a before picture
And here is the finished product
As with all DYI projects in our home there were some important lessons learned:
Never count on the assembly instructions making sense
Always give yourself at least an extra 3 hours to finish what you think will only take you two
Laughter helps: "where are all the little people?"
Listen to your children when they tell you not to quit and the tell them how much you live them and are so proud of them when they work along side you for almost 5 hours to get the job done
Benjamin and Zachary - You are awesome!
