Plan your work, then work your plan...

Here is the design as submitted for review by our HOA. This would be the same HOA that told us to weed our yard after living here for 2 weeks, and yet failed to clean up the broken glass from a felled street light for nearly a month. I harbor no resentment as you can tell. By some miracle the fabled "architectural review committee" did approve our design, unchanged thankfully. Materials will be Woodland Brown Trex for all horizontal surfaces and Hem Fir dimensional lumber, stained with Pinto White penetrating wood stain for the verticals and pergola.
