Time for an UPGRADE!!

What happens here

The project begins with an overview of the existing deck area, which includes some overhead wooden beams, suggesting a previous pergola or partial cover. The on-screen text clearly states, "Tearing down our old project and adding a roof!" Workers are actively engaged in removing components of the previous structure. This initial phase focuses on clearing the space to prepare for the new construction. This includes dismantling old posts, beams, and any attached railings or decorative elements that are not part of the final vision.

Goal: Clear the deck area of existing structures to prepare for new construction.
