A Day in mid - August...

It was a while back...

Our pergola was on its way down... and had been for quite some time.

We had been lucky it hadn't crashed down onto us...

It was a close call once,

Jonah was little and we've all just come home from the shops and

hubby had rushed off to work.

I heard a HUGE bang and thought Jonah pulled down something heavy 

onto the floor. I panicked - big time!

Nothing had happened inside, Jonah was safe. I peeked through the front door.

A part of the pergola had fallen down where we park our car 

- 40 mins earlier we had been standing there!!

Our Guardian Angels definitely looked after us that day.

Hubby spent a couple of hours removing the timber.

Say bye bye to the ugly old timber...

And this is the finished result:

So bright and airy

I don't miss it one single bit...

Now I'm looking forward to our future project of adding a beautiful deck at the front.

Stay tuned...
