Outback Landscape, Inc. in Idaho is working with Brad and Hyrum to create his client’s custom designed pergola. This project is just one of the upcoming ventures that we plan to accomplish.
They go together easily, as one thrilled client said, “It was like Lincoln Logs!” All the pieces are pre-cut, pre-drilled and its fun talking with a Design Manager, getting a free estimate and seeing what your dream backyard could look like.
The mortise and tenon in furniture construction is normally cut with a shorter, thinner stubbed tongue. Mortise and tenon joints have soundly stood stronger through centuries of architectural constructions because it allows for the wood to naturally expand and contract while maintaining its integral shape over a nail/glue construction.Buildings are considered to be solid immobile structures, yet we live in a environment of continual motion where the earth’s seismic moves in waves up and down as well as side-to-side in an ongoing micro motion; along with wind loads as an added factor of moving force.
This post here we have notched out for a light switch and you can see the one inch hole back there and it also goes up through to the top as well. The center one may very well be just a little bit smaller to make up that extra 18th inch.
