Im getting behind guys! The pergolla is nearly complete, and man is it awesome. I promise to share the finished product once it is actually all finished, but for now lets got back a while.
We are so fortunate to have amazing Grandmas and Grandpas.
For our last half of Spring Break we got to have Grandpa Longmire out for a visit and it was wonderful. He was so great to come out and work for 3 days to get our pergolla from old to new.
As with all of our Longmire remodel adventures, this one has give us some trouble. The guys had to spend an entire day evaluating and problem solving the area around our patio door and the roof. Its a LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG and involved conversation but in a nutshell.....
Roof installed poorly
Crappy previous pergolla installed poorly
Water intrusion into the wall and behind the door
Many things uneven
And on and on.......
BUT, those men are problem solvers and by golly, after multiple trips to Home Depot, brainstorming sessions, and ideas, they did it and the whole thing started to take shape.
They even worked late into the night painting so that they could get as much done as possible in the daylight hours. Gosh I love my contractors.
Even though they didn't get as far as they wanted to in the time he was here, they decided to take time away from work to go hiking with us girls.
Arizona is spectacular right now and the trails and desert are simply beautiful. All 5 of us headed over to the Usery Mountains for a nice long hike Sunday morning.
I am ever so grateful for this family and for the ways in which we are loved. Its a beautiful thing and we ended the weekend with one very true fact in mind.......we wish Grandpa came out more often!
