      @@Jimmy-2-Times In my experience, most people just do that to mean 'rock and roll,' not a literal reference to some obscure demon they've probably never even heard of. In the 80's & 90's (in the US) the hair-metal bands' fans popularized this. Pretty sure any allegiance to an evil spirit would have been the furthest thing from the mind of 99% of the people doing this hand gesture then & ever since then.
      I don't know the guy in the video, but I doubt he actually worships Baphomet. I get it; I agree: Baphomet & devil bad. If he does worship baphomet, I certinaly don't like that. But, he didn't ask for my opinion on his religious beliefs.
      Regardless, he should have freedom of speech or I guess freedom of expression via hand symbols.
      I honestly didn't even notice it and had to rewatch the video to see what you were talking about.

      I am a reasonably strong man and 6x6's are very heavy. They weigh something like 11 pounds a foot for Southern yellow pine. I don't think anyone should try to do this by themselves. Maybe three guys and a skid steer could do it.

    Not bad guy! Just a couple tips. The top of the pergola is just rafters, not a roof. It has no sheathing or roofing. The corner hardware is a bracket, the ones for the rafters are hangers. Also you shouldn't paint or stain pressure treated lumber until is has weathered for 6 months to a year. The moisture from the treatment will surface and push off the paint. Keep keeping on though!

      6 month wait is too long from experience. The pressure treated wood dries and cracks and twists and checks. Don’t wait even two months in hot weather. 2 weeks to a month and stain or paint. UNLESS you like cracked checked wood.

  • @granthendry1001
    @granthendry1001 4 місяці тому +4

    For those commenting about lack of shade etc, normally the horizontals in the roof are oriented vertically and angled so that they are perpendicular to the suns rays at high noon in your location. That makes for ‘odd’ angles that many people don’t like so they just settle for being perpendicular or parallel to the house. Properly oriented pergolas are great sun shades.

      You can train vines up it or get cloth pieces to drape through it, or attach a piece of lattice work over the top... ideally the slats should be oriented such that it provides some shade. Overhanging the slats would help extend the coverage, too. But, mostly it creates a "room" feeling, if not a ton of real privacy or weather protection. :)
