Trellis, continued


We used temporary braces to tack up the redwood spine supporting the trellis at the California project house today. Went pretty well. The kitchenette window was slipped in yesterday, (at right) so we can continue finishing off that space as well. It's a little custom window that was rejected four times before Lowe's finally got it right.
Meanwhile, the gardener has been hard at it in the front, producing this curvaceous creation, reminiscent of the river rock treatment so common to Minnesota landscapers.
Work will continue on the bougainvillea trellis out back later this afternoon. After considerable tweaking, we think we've got the correct relationship with the shed roof… not too close, not too distant. We'll get a better idea when we fill in the legs and the wooden fence.
It's hot in the direct sun right now, we'll wait for it to cool off a bit.
