This old fire place insert has been in our basement fireplace for umpteen years and I finally got it set up in the back yard as an outdoor fire pit. I can not tell you how many times Patt has been on my case about getting this done. Well now it is -- and we tested it out today.
The grandkids got chairs, Matt and I collected some wood from the yard and wood lot behind the house. Our trees never seem to finish dropping limbs of all sizes. Stephen especially liked helping me pick them up when he was younger.
As you can see from this picture and as the temperature did not get much above freezing, the fire was indeed welcome and as Julianna said made her feel all toasty. We had a good evening together after raking leaves, ( that would have been Julianna and me) and then fixing the outdoor fire place. Julianna said "we should do this every day." Patt will be so happy.
I would have suggested the front yard.

I suggested the curb. Patt
ReplyDeleteDon't rush things Patt, it's now outside and maybe in another few short years it will make it to the curb!
