Gazebo Repair

em's gazebo

19 years ago when Emily was born, Dad made a little gazebo for her. The sign over  the door reads, Emily’s Gazebo. There was a time when she could fit in and played in it, now it’s more of a decorative piece in our landscaping. (click on photos for larger view.)

Unfortunately over the years and our forgetting to cover it for the last few winters it’s showing its age with rot. Last weekend Greg and Mark started the restoration process. This is the base.

They moved it to the side so that Greg could replace the rotted areas. Mark was there to lend moral support.

And of course every job needs a foreman.

Greg rebuilt most of the base.

They leveled it up and put the frame on top of it. The roof still needs some work and will be left for another weekend. I’ll post a photo of the completed project when available.
