The Arch
    

Chris had another brain fart as we worked on the arbor. What would look fantastic over the stairs?- an arch! Eventually it could be covered in ivy or vines... Doesn't that sound fantastic, Nic?,... So I went on faith again, and he spent Winter 2004 building the supports and his vacation in December 2004 bending wood, and the first warm weekend we had in January 2005 meant the arches went up.
    

Progress over the weekend.
    

    
By the end of the weekend, build was complete.
    

This is the box built to steam the wood so it could be bent.
