Here's some pics of the installation of the first post, the flagstone path with the posts and beams alongside, the first posts and beams up from the corner of the lot, me using the hammer drill to place the straps in the existing concrete pad for some posts, and a close-up of the wall caps for the outside beams.
Here's some pics of the flagstone path and the completion of the ramada. I don't know the days they happened anymore but hopefully they are vaguely in order. (Or reverse order as the case may be.)
