The weatherman predicted a few hours without rain, so we were prepared to take advantage of every moment. By 6:30 in the morning I was already pulling out the tools to get the workspace ready. Today's objective was to make sure that the roof wouldn't wobble, so we started by adding some cross pieces to make sure that everything was "square". Then we added some lateral pieces at the top which would allow for hanging plants or for a set of florescent lights for the winter months. Last, we started on the lattice roof cover which needed to carefully be trimmed. That's about as far as we got, as next our friends arrived to help cut down a dead tree in the back yard.

| Robert mentally prepares himself for thrill of carpentry |
 |
| some lumber is added between the roof peaks so that the lattice will lay flat |
 |
| next some additional bracing is added |
 |
| slats are added at the top so that the lattice has something to lean upon |
 |
| cross bars for hanging plants are added and the first piece of lattice goes up |
