Day 13 - The Landscaping Done

Nail holes are all filled, cedar facing is in place around the base of the gazebo, it is stained, and landscaping is done around the base of the gazebo. Last step is too add the screens and door.

This was the biggest outdoor project Todd has ever done.  Complete strangers would stop down on our road, and ask who built the gazebo.

Todd won a runner up contest from the company that built the knock down kit for Todd to build into our deck.
