   Nice one.....the sliding miter saw that is, and the pergola looks fine as well.

   Steve,

   Excellent work!  I have a small pergola to build over a landing on a deck job I'm on.  I've been trying to come up with something different.  I like the layout of the top members.  Did you half lap the 2x's? 

   I think I may print that picture --- imitation is the sincerest form of flatery.  Congrats on theupcoming wedding.  Good luck.Dave Otto -- Otto Construction -- PA

   dave, the basic concept came from Better Homes and Gardens: Outdoor Projects

   its built with 2x6 cedar and 4x4 pressure treated posts covered with 5/4 decking

   the outer joists are full lapped and main joists are 1/2 lappedcaulking is not a piece of trim

   Now you've got her expecting big things with respect to your wood working abilities and what you can erect for her.

   Like Red Green says, "if the women don't find you handsome at least let'em find you handy".

   Nice job.

   ........someone told me a coupla years ago that a survey indicated that the male trait most endearing to women was that of resourcefulness!

   Guess she picked a good one!

   Good luck to you, and good wheather too!!
