My Wife Bought a Pavilion WITHOUT Asking... So I Had to Build It!

Renee surprised John with a brand new pavilion for the pool... and a deadline to get it built before our daughter's birthday! There's just one problem: we had to build it during an extreme heatwave.

Watch as we tackle this massive DIY project, from pouring a custom concrete pad, assembly of the gazebo during rain storms, and the sweat-soaked shingling the roof in brutal heat. With help from family, we race against the clock and the New England summer sun. See the teamwork, the struggles, and the progress on this huge addition to our poolside paradise!

Will the heat win, or will we get it done in time? Hit that subscribe button to follow our journey at Our New England Cottage!
