The pergola does use some nuts and bolts but the main method of fixing is old fashioned hard wood pegs. The whole structure wobbles a bit as they are driven home. The problem I have found is that the pergola was assembled at the factory, marked and then dis-assembled for delivery. No instructions were received until eventually a build it by numbers plan arrived BUT there are several items that are identical with the same number and some of them can be mounted in either sense. So the likelihood of getting the right pieces together as they were at the factory is low. Sadly, this means that the pre-drilled holes just do not match up and I am having to redrill the majority of the holes to get the pegs hammered through.

Fire damaged and rusty, my mobile scaffolding is coming out of retirement but it needed a new support floor to be able to use it. Have made it from left over joist offcuts.

Esteban has fitted the joists for the attic floor. I am missing the beam above the one I have condemned and also the one that goes between the wall and the stone pillar.
