Jim flipped the brackets over and painted the other side this morning... 


He then took all his tools and equipment out to the pavilion and got set up.  He put the straps on the other side of the structure and got everything plumb and square...


Then he was able to start working on drilling the holes and putting pegs in the back joint...


Then he got up on top and started working on the pegs in the corner joint...


He got tired of fighting with this tree branch, so down it came!


The joint from above - fabulous!


Using his jig to work on the brace joints...


Using the 2-pound hammer to pound in the peg...


Using the Bobcat to make sure everything is tight on this front joint before working on pegs here...


Starting to drill the hole in this front joint...


Pounding in the peg...


Marking all the locations and measurements for the top pegs...


Starting to use the auger...


Pounding in the pegs...


All four corners are now done!  Starting to work on the braces on the side wall...


Jig in place for the bottom brace joint...


Pegging...


He was able to get the front brace joints on this side wall all done before stopping to put away all his tools and equipment and do trash duty.  A great day!

High 68.2/Low 50.3 - beautiful!
