The wife and I built our house about 4 years ago, so it's taken me quite a bit of work to get here.
When we first moved in the whole yard was just red clay until some grass started coming in, so I started out grilling on cardboard boxes just to stay out of the mud. Now about 4 years later and some 85 tons later partially covered pergola with reclaimed brick patio! All done by myself, friends, and family.
The earliest photo I could find
The dog and grills before there was a fence or anything, some grass though [emoji3]
Here's a lot of the weight, about 2000 bricks dug, collected, and cleaned by the wife and I. An easy estimate is everyone of those bricks was moved at least 6 times.
Here's the pergola, a lot of this was with help from the father in law
Some details of the notching and he, my brother and I getting it done

Next steps will be hanging some string lights and eventually we'll paint it white and grow some flowering vine over the non-covered part. Thanks for looking !
