Much progress, but not quite done yet.

I've been working some every day, and I've been making steady progress.  This was spring break week, and I took the week off of work.  At the beginning of the week, I did quite a bit of construction, but later in the week I did more spring break activities with the family.

At this point I have the structure built, and today I worked on assembly the pieces of the roof.  I have it almost done, but the wind came up later in the afternoon and I decided to wait to finish it. All I have left on the roof is to attach the plywood to the bottom of one side of the roof, and then I need to run the router with a flush trim bit around the roof to line up all the edges.

Once that is done, there are three things left to do:
- buy and put on shingles
- finish the outboard legs and facade on the pull out part of the roof
- finish digging the holes, level and set in concrete.

None of these is trivial, but none are all that difficult either.  I'm hoping that I can find some time this week after work to work on them (the changing of the clocks last weekend will help), and finish up next weekend if I need the time.

The pier arrived at the end of last week, and I have resisted opening the box because I don't want to distract myself, but I'll probably open it soon just to make sure it is alright.
