Pergola with nice rounded ends
Again another project measured, designed, cut and stained off site and taken to the job and assembled. This was the first job with our material lift and it’s saving our backs!
The ends are rounded which take a little extra time and incur a bit more cost, but the outcome is worth it.
This client is a very fun customer and one of our favorites!

Remodeled inside of an old warehouse building for a man cave type building
For this project we wanted to bring a little of the to the inside of the building. We demoed walls, cut new openings for garage doors, re-sided inside and outside of the building, wrapped beams with rough sawn planks, and hid other metal beam parts with logs. We stood two tall cedar trees in the building. The challenge there is cutting a tree so it stands level. Outside the building got a new metal roof from Bridger Steel, log porch posts, and rough sawn beams.

Deck and pergola with a tongue and groove half wall
This project started as just the rough sawn pergola with hewn posts. We set three posts on the north side 3’ in the ground and concreted them in. Those posts sat roughly 3’ lower then the rest of the pad the pergola stood on so we set them first and let them set up. Meanwhile we built the rest of the pergola and stained it back at the Crowing Rooster shop and then assembled it on site. Then we use the black OZCO brackets to finish out the pergola.
The wall was built out of 2″x4″ redwood and then had 1″x6″ tongue and groove and we added pre-stained pine for vines to grow on.
As the project was wrapping up the homeowner asked about her deck and we took to fixing it to match the pergola and make a new stair exit off towards the pergola as the existing decks stairs only faced south. The original railing and deck fascia material was all old first generation composite and is extremely heavy. When we pulled the railing of, the post almost fell down as the railing was the only thing holding the posts up. All the posts and joists had been attached with 16d nails and had rusted out and pulled away. We used exterior grade torx lags and screws to reattach everything correctly. We had to set new posts as the original deck builder had cantilevered the deck joists over a beam and set the posts and rails to that which over time caused the deck to sag and become very un-level. We stripped the old railing and lattice they had on the bottom from the ground up to the deck , dug holes to set the new posts on concrete now, re-leveled the deck, built new railing systems using black post sleeves and a much more light weight fortress flat black railing. Then we used new rough sawn fascia that was again stained back at the shop. New stairs were constructed of redwood and rough sawn as well. We framed the bottom with redwood 2″x4″ to keep from rotting and wrapped the bottom with bridger steel corrugated metal.

Built my shop over a year on weekends and bad weather days.
Concrete by C & M cement in casper. It’s constructed of 2″x6″ tongue and groove on a pole barn frame. The trim is a rough cedar that my wife spent hours sanding while I put it up. The roof is copper penny Bridger Steel metal.

A backyard pergola.
This project was in a residence with poor access, so again we had to cut and stain it off site and assemble on site. Last pergola we did before we bought the equipment lift, so this is the last one we had to pick up 24’ 6″x12″ beams on our shoulders and walk up ladders and set on posts. Now lou spends all his summer time under his pergola drinking beer.
