You're like a f'ing Martha Stweart and Bob Vila all wrapped in one!

Looks GREAT

Perhaps a handicapped Bob Vila, but I have to give credit to people like vixenbabe, Velvett, Jestro, etc, Stilleto (in that order) for their help with colors and suggestions.

Did you shoot that with a transit for the right pitch? I think we put a 4" pitch on my patio across about 19 1/2' if I remember correctly.

I don't have all those fancy gadgets.

I just used the existing wall, chalk line, and a plastic level.

To my surprise everything came out square and plum.

The only negative at this point is that the first post has twisted a little after the treated wood dried out. Hopefully it will be covered & unnoticeable once my vine starts growing on it.

Luckily I have no neighbors.

Those are old sheds/buildings which were already there when I bought the house.

My next project is to demolish those buldings.

Do you like your day job? Cause you could make a nice living fixin' and flippin' old houses.
