Cutting and Installing Beams and Rafters

But we make it work. Clamps help. So, most pergola boards, they look bland and boring. And really, by tearing them up is what makes it kind of look multi-dimensional and pretty cool. But also, having some kind of style to it, right? So, I actually saw this at my local building supply store. They have pergola stuff on display. And I took a picture and I'm stealing that idea and I'm not afraid to admit that. >> Off to do some shady do da do da Off to do some shady do do da day That actually went a lot smoother than expected. I also ran out of the washers, so I'm going to temporarily put these in and then tomorrow or maybe after work today I'll go get some more, but in the meantime don't laugh.

Uh let's go get a new battery and secure these things in place. All right. Oh, by the way, I've never show never showed you guys my new work trailer. Uh this is a huge upgrade and a big deal is uh headroom. So, that's why we got it. It's a little bit smaller, too, so it's less invasive and uh problematic. Yeah, of course, they're all dead. Of course, they're dead.

Check this out. This is my new Jackery Explorer 5000 plus electric generator unit. Folks, we're talking an absolute beast of a machine. It's 7200 W. That's 240 V of power that's produced by this thing that literally I can power anything that's in this work trailer. I'm talking about my air compressor. I'm talking about charging my…
