We built a floorgola

What, you've never heard of a floorgola?  Maybe some pictures will help you understand.

Here is our pergola that Captain Y and his buddy built a few years ago:

Here is our pergola with a floorgola:

We have always intended to put a floor(gola) on the pergola but couldn't decide what kind...deck, patio, pavers, so many options!  Finally, we decided to go with a deck.  So, last weekend we bought some wood...

And built the base...

Added some decking boards and now we have a floorgola...

We still have some more plans, of course.  We want to put some lattice on one of the short ends and a nice wooden porch swing on the other and build flower beds on both short ends that wrap around to the step in the front.  We'll plant some vines (probably cross vine and passion flower) to grow up the posts and cover the top and we'll probably add some solar powered lights.  But for now, we're enjoying the pergola with it's new floorgola, just as is it!
