Pergola Day 7

Got 6 more supports up tonight before my arm gave out. I guess I never counted... 28 total supports, each made of 25" long 4 by 4 with the ends cut at 45 degree. Mounted with a 3/8 lag screw into the post, and a 3/8 carriage bolt into the rafters. I think I only have 2 more supports to go, then I will tighten up all the bolts, and start mounting the 60 1 x 4 boards on top.

The end is in sight!
