Newark is smaller but still big, as far as getting Millie off the flight it depends on the airline not either one of those airports.

Sure just make the most use of my time awake, (vegans have more energy also :a040:)

Ok pool has been operating for about a week all systems in full operation.

Pond is also working, plants R being shipped from our store in NY this weekend.

Pergola under construction, first pic is the uprights or posts these are 4x8 massive and heavy.

The next pic are the upper cross members they would have been done today if the monsoon rain didn't come, one more tomorrow then the rafter go up.

The last pic gives U an idea of the size of the post & beam structure.

The pond is now connected to the pool and main filtration system a/k/a 'no chlorine'

Are the plants being shipped from NY for the pond??? I can't wait to see this. How exciting what you are creating.:pepper2:

Yikes. Great work. If you had been here earlier, you could have built Brownwood.

Thanks for the updates.

Everything is looking good, you are one busy guy. Are you going to screen the Pergola? That is a great way to provide security around the pool.

Yes the side wall screens R the same as U see in any bird cage, the roof screen will be under or over the rafters with purlins, not sure yet on that issue.

Did the plants arrive from NY and are they going in the pond???

No they were delayed till next week.

Starting with about 30 plants

But the pond is running, next few days the water fall will be tested.

So far so good

So the plants are for the pond??? Curious as to what you will be using.

Plants in today

Just about done
