This is a rough time of the year for that kind of work. When I put ours in, I did the same thing. Built it in July and August. Next time, I'll do the work in the fall.
This was my intentions but life has a way of pushing major projects back. I had help with the fence but work schedules kept my help away when I started the deck.
I have one more to build. 16' X 16' with a shelter style roof over it. This one will be a bear and yeah, I am starting it in July..................
I saw the pics of your work.....very nice.
