[Today’s run: 11 miles with Boardtown runners, substantial walking in the last half]<\/p>\n

We want to make a pergola-type structure over the back patio.\u00a0 We have some nice cedar posts and we have some bricks.\u00a0 We will need to buy dimensional lumber to make a deck-ish frame and put some on-edge boards on the top.\u00a0 Then we hope to get some kind of vineing plant to grow up over the top to make a shady cover.<\/p>\n

So this afternoon I was laying out some of the bricks to figure out where our pillars\/posts need to go.\u00a0 I have done a little bit of masonry work in the past and enjoyed it.\u00a0 I’m not saying I am good at it, but it was interesting. As you can see here, the line of pillars nearest the house will be on the existing slab.\u00a0 I think I will drill into the slab and try to put in a central piece of rebar.\u00a0 Then I will build up a square brick pillar and fill in the middle with bag concrete.\u00a0 At the top I will put in a J-bolt and a post anchor.<\/p>\n

Since our posts are kind of short, I am thinking I will call the brick factory on Monday to see how much it would cost to get some more of these bricks.\u00a0 I can make taller pillars and use shorter posts.<\/p>\n
