Outdoor project for brother

Project by mgradwohl posted 694 days ago 360 views 1 time favorited 9 comments Add to Favorites Watch

My brother isn’t very handy, so I built this for him at his last home. Had him prepaint the wood, then built it in modular pieces. Trucked it to his house and then fit the pieces to the posts he’d already sunk in concrete (poorly).

His wife loved it.

Great job. Sounds like your brother owes you a big favour.

how wonderful :)
Now, you aren’t teasing him about his concrete work, are you? :)
I bet he’s as proud as a pickle to have this beautiful structure in his yard and that his bro made it for him.
I can hear him now, “Hey Mailman.. want to see what my brother made for me
” :)

It’s all just 2×4s and 4×4s from Big Orange that I sized down and had my brother paint before constructing.
