I now am the proud owner of a fire pit.
I outlined the little area with pavers and had a nice little fire going tonight.
Tomorrow or Wednesday I will dig out the area, throw in some gravel, toss in some sand, and put those pavers in place.
And of course the garden bed isn't complete, because I was short 2 bags of mulch!
But its 97.9% complete.
Where the hell are the pictures?
I'd prefer before and after, but I guess "after" is ok.
I like the fire pit idea! :thumbup:0 -

I planted a peach tree in our last yard. I would love to see how big it got in 20 years.
The best part of gardening, watching it grow
Yes, I love the way the yard develops as time passes. (Even though my hands hurt from weeding and trimming so much today!)

The fire pit is really no big deal. We bought a $200 pit, and I put pavers down, 4ft x4ft. It right now is sitting in the middle of the yard, but im not sure, we may move it in the next couple days.mca47 wrote:SPEEDY MCCREADY wrote:Moving right along....

Kind of funny though. Working nights I really have never spent any time in my yard for the last 3 summers. Today as we were sitting by the fire and just talking, I looked at her and said, "So tell me you are really going to miss that butt ugly GAZEBO!"
She just laughed.
I should have tore that fucking eyesore down, the 1st week we moved in.Take me piece by piece.....

Agreed!
I'll pass out next to the fire pit.
I don't mind.
And since you destroyed the gazebo, we won't have to knock it down....and probably have the neighbors call the cops.
Well, gazebo or not, the cops will probably come! 0 -

Could be trouble!
After drinking all day, sweating our asses off at Wrigley in July..."Speedy's place" is going to sound fun!
Shit, we may BUILD a gazebo just for shits in order to knock it down.
Yep.
I'm going to order up some lumber for drunken gazebo-building! 0 -
We could spend the day getting liquored up, and discussing how bad our seats were for Wrigley.mca47 wrote:Does anyone here actually know where you live?

I think that's a given!
Pretty sure whereever we are, we'll be watching a screen....again....from a mile away....again!
That's ok. I had more fun the second night PJ20 being a mile away! 0 -
The warm summer nights spent in my outdoor living room are simply enchanting, there is nothing like it.
All of the hard work, back aches and bee stings are quickly forgotten.
Glad you are making progress Speedy.
Such a rewarding venture :PNice shirt.0 -
Coffee is brewing, turkey bacon will be sizzling soon. Add a couple poached eggs and an English muffin, and its the start of a good day. :P :P
30-45 minutes of work in the yard, then it is time to just lay out in the sun for a few hours.
Lunch with my folks.
Cubs game with Kathy.
Today is going to be a BIG DAY!
