Looks good, except for the nails in the post. Don't want to deface this beautiful cedar. I'll think
up a workaround.


The cedar *will* rot. Paint the bottom (and the sides of the bottom) of
the post with cheap roof coating and you won't have to worry about
that. The pros do it here all the time.

Will get a bit of that in the morning.
