Well, ladies and gentlemen, children under the age of??????? and children of all ages. I finally finished building a pergula/pergalo.
It was just so exciting that I just feel all warm, fuzzy and tingly inside!!!!!!!!!
When I started this thing I did not even know how to spell the word, let alone build one!!!!!!! but after watching several segments of THIS OLD HOUSE and consuming untold amounts of medication just trying to get a message out of any bottle, I finally started to build it with a scrambled brain from the TV and a severe headache from the medicine which I might add should only be consumed in moderation.......... and don't try this at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pictures attached are pretty self explanatory, but the first day was the most fun cause I got to cut and break stuff, of course then comes the really fun part when you have to start putting it back together.
Now you say, I can hear you!!!!!!!!!!! saying that it should not be that hard, well with the right amount of medication you are absolutely correct, HOWEVER, since the right amount was not available@#%&@#%&@ I just had to press ahead so to speak or not to speak since there was no one there but me and I had grown tired of talking to myself, but that is another story.
Anyway first I had to replace some posts, then I had to try and make 4x4's go where they should go and there is no thrill like trying to bend a 4x4!!!!!!!! That sort of ranks up there with a PUBLIC FLOGGING and me being the !!!!!!!!!!! but I persevered (another big word) and finally after speaking in several languages, some that I had forgotten that I even knew the Pergula/Pergulo/who really gives a @#&%!!!!!!!!!
Since spell check is giving me a fit I will spell it both ways and then somebody else can figure it out!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, the job is completed and now I am somewhere else since I am not where I was doing something different than I was and learning a whole bunch of neat new words!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the pictures. For those of you who are interested I have a series of what I built that can be had by just sending me an email requesting all the pictures since I am limited to 5 on the blog.
Well, I am off to conquer Mt. Ignorance again and maybe take a break at
MY BEACH HOUSE ON THE MOON WHILST I HAVE A CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE?????
TA TA, CHEERIO, WHAT HO!!!!!! AND WHATEVER???????
