The Grape Pergola
Want to see what we've been doing for the past week? We built a pergola on to one side of "the barn" aka storage shed.

We kept all our old windows when we had new ones put in several years ago (also kept old storm/screen doors). I always thought that I'd upcycle the old windows and make a greenhouse out of them.
