Great gazebo! How long did it take you to build? I am impressed.

Thank you.
We drew the plan on a piece of graph paper the beginning of February, a couple days after I proposed. We went on a cruise during Valentines and while we where gone, my dad started building up the peninsula with about a hundred yards of dirt. When we got back, I started grading the dirt, setting the culvert pipes and pouring my footings. I worked on it every weekend and in the evenings when the days got long enough to make it worthwhile. Before starting I figured it would take me 4 months. I finished the morning before my wedding, which was August 9th. So just under 6 months of weekends to build it by myself.

Remember following your build thread a year ago! Good to see that it is starting to build a tradition now for your family and friends. What a great legacy you are starting!
