Rails Up, 20 pounds of concrete added
Feel a little accomplished to-day. I didn't do as much as I had hoped, but did enough to justify some confidence going forward.
Spent $11 on new 3 inch wood screws at Freddies. I used them to put in the bracket after I had hacksawed off 2 of the 3 screws (could not remove them).
I saw some clematis at Freddies which I had been considering for planting next to the trellis, but decided to wait on that ($20, plus I would need to plant and really see if that is the right thing to do).
