The Gazebo #5: It's getting closer

It is turning into really unique looking gazebo.

A one of a kind piece of building artwork.

The placement of the windows looks very interesting, especially the round one.

I too like the round windows. Very arty. The Barn boards were also quite an improvement, and the roof made the whole difference. Congratulations on your progress. Looks great!

Love your story MsDebbieP, That’a usually the way many projects of mine go. None of the pics would I call a Gazebo….. looks more like the clubhouse….. or play house for the kids. Love the final look. If you keep going it may turn into a Mansion. Great job!!!

I love it! I like to see items reused and this project shows how easy it can be to just use your imagination.
Great job Ms.Debbie.

-- Can't never could do anything, to try is to advance.

Great! How about we call it a “Goes-out-to” ?! Ya know, cause once someone sees it, they want to goes out to it! Ha!

Nice work.

Your journey was long, frustrating and tedious, but, the result was worth it. Bet its going to serve some of those cold dawn breakfasts.

Put a Fridge and Microwave in it , with a bed and live there when you are mad at everyone else….. of course take your PC. too!!!!

we’ve already talked about how it can be “the dog house” for those moments in life. The benches inside are great for sleeping on and there is a pillow and blanket already there. We also have a heater for those frosty mornings.. so that just leaves the fridge and microwave! lol

Thanks everyone.
Although I’m sure it will still be called the gazebo (out of habit) we often refer to it as the cottage “up north” since it is north of the house. If I ripped up the garden we could plant some evergreens around it and make it look like it was in the forest :)

So ya gonna use this for the family get togethers in the winter winds blow? Sure would be an improvement inside away from the blowing snow. Again it wouldn’t quite be the same huh Ms Deb? It sure is a dandy, nice place to sit away from the squitos and black flies. LOL I love your round window, a true piece of art. This is a must for the emag. hugs, m

thanks, Mike :)

oh yes.. winter get-togethers like this one

Our plan is to attach a tarp to the front of our “cabin” so the fire area is a little more protected from the elements and we will have the building to go into when we get too cold.

Coolest Gazebo Ever!

You can hang this sign on it.

It says “little library house”, in Swedish. This is Barbs little hideout.

I loved the pictorial metemorphasis from the “store bought” gazebo to the current and vastly improved cottage,gazebo,palace,goes-out-to,club house, structure that now proudly resides north of the house. Rick did a great job on the siding(which I love) and the variety of the window shapes and sizes is great. Congratulations on ending up with such a fun place!!

Wow. Way to go MsDebbie. Looks llike a cool Gazebo. I bought one very similar to yours from Lowes. I’ll have to post what I did to make my new Gazebo. My top only lasted a year before it tore and ripped due to the winds here.

thanks everyone :)
We really enjoy the building—even if we are just sitting and looking at it!

Jerry – I look forward to seeing your “adaptation” :)

Wow, Deb. Thats really cool!

Looks like a fun place to hang out, thanks for the story behind the building.

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

it’s a great place.
It’s been an interesting journey—- all in the name of saving the investment. Oh that’s just too funny. Lots of $$$ went into the “saving” :)

-- ~ Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Jenn and I both agree that home rennos often don’t save money, you get a better job and a lot of fun but not necessarily save money. Enjoy your ‘cabin up north’ :-)

-- ...it's rennovation time!!!

Rick and I laugh about it all the time—to salvage $200 tent we spent probably $2000 lol
