massive overhead

Hey Lumberjocks,
I just wanted to post a new project, a massive overhead. We designed this overhead so that there was an unobstructed view from inside the house to the pool. The two main columns are 34 feet on center and stand 15 feet from the house. The overhead is 36 foot in length and 17 feet off the house in total. We hired a framer to do the rough carpentry work. Once framed I installed the metal roof and all the flashings on the topside. Once that was completed I installed a 5 1/2 inch Pine shiplap. About 575 sq. feet. We stained ahead of time. At this point I installed a very high grade exterior plywood to wrap the main beam. I then added as much trim as I thought necessary. I removed the gutter and downspout from around the bay window and added 2×6 facia board to keep with the theme. We had electricians add all the lights, heaters and bug zappers.
Thanks for checking out the massive overhead.
Greg
