So, we were pretty busy this weekend and we had planned on taking down the gazebo canopy top. Saturday, we had two soccer games and a Halloween party that we went to. Sunday, we went to Lauren's soccer game and did some grocery shopping. When we got home, we had to give Duke a bath. So we didn't get to the gazebo. Big mistake. Today proved to be a near-disastrous wind filled day. I guess the storms were pretty severe. I was at work and monitored it on the computer, but being in a big store with no windows except for the entrance door, I was mostly oblivious to the wrath. When I got home, I found our gazebo to be slightly affected by the weather. Luckily, Jon was due home shortly after me and we could get it bent back into place without anything getting damaged. In fact, we're pretty lucky that it didn't tip over and crack our slider windows. I let Duke out for a quick pee and ushered him right back in. It was still quite windy, and I didn't want him getting hurt. When Jon got home we fixed it. Sort of. Surprisingly, it bent back into place with little effort. And there wasn't a single stitch out of place on the gazebo top. Wow did we luck out. Now, we just needed to get the top off for the season and everything would be fine, right? Nope. In Jon's irritated and impatient state, he pulls on the corner of the top to get it off the frame and rips a big hole right in the corner. Ya know, where it needs to stretch tautly over the frame corner? Jon has a tendency to not think before he acts. So know we will have to buy a new canopy for about $65.
