Two redwood beams are being fabricated in the shape of a voluptuous French Curve to complement the ordinary shed roof added recently to the back of the house. The beams are laminations that will be trimmed out with a jigsaw, laced with lath then erected high overhead, where vines, bougainvillea and the like will find suitable anchorage. The redwood material will be glued, screwed, sealed and painted before taking its place under the California sun. . .which can be brutal.
We hope the final product will last a lifetime. This is Day One.
