Snowflake Challenge #12

Set a goal.

I made a backyard bower some years ago. Here's a photo of Willow perched on the toprail of the west-facing fence; I'm sitting on the old daybed used for writing, napping and daydreaming. Well, our recent storms smashed it flat! So the goal is to rebuild it for 2023.

You can see the transverse roof supports. They snagged a lot of rain which bowed and eventually broke the structure, so the plan is to hang perpendicular supports from the bower's toprail to sluice the rain downwards. Wish me luck!

A bower is such a cool idea (and it looks like your cat enjoyed it) Good luck, and I hope the new one is stronger than ever!

A bower is the best.

I appreciate the wishes for luck, thanks! Everything you see in the photo *except the cat* sprawls on the mud. A very nice man helped me out yesterday with some physical manly strength re pipe straightening, so the ridgepole is a go.
