There was a bloke in Germany that would collect all the old washing machines and make stainless steel BBQ's out of them. Great idea~!

First fire of the year/ever at the new house

Before and after pics. We don't have any way to burn wood in the house so I use the firepit any chance I get.

Are those just hand laid pavers? That awesome!

Shirley and Lady seem to like it. I recently expanded the size of the seating area for guests.

It's not much but it works for the two of us. Play some cards and listen to the Brewers game.

I like the dual wooden chairs that share the middle armrest/table. Is that a hole in the table center for base, umbrella pole/umbrella? Did you build? Pretty neat idea, nice little separate table as well.

The wooden table was built by my wife's grandpa and it's a hand-me-down. We usually put the umbrella in the metal table because the wooden one it so close to the bushes, and we put Christmas lights in the umbrella to light up the table.

Yes they are. Had a friend help me one spring before work got too busy. Best money I ever spent on our house.

My 16-year-old son has a guys Bible study on Monday nights at our house and he's noticed that the nights they gather around the firepit are the nights when guys really open up and have deep discussions.

There is something about a group gathered around a campfire that is irreplaceable. It's almost magic. Add a few hot dogs, marshmallows, stories, songs, and good people. That's about all it takes and maybe an old dog half asleep.

Sorry, no princess Jammie's, mine are Spider-Man!

Those pics are a couple years old. They would have been 5 and 8 so it probably does look a lot like your place!

Oh my friend, you have no idea. All front loading washers have them. When replacing a bad bearing in those blasted front load washers, we replace the inner stainless baskets also. Have throw countless numbers of those baskets/tubs out. If ya need any, can keep some. They are made from a lower grade stainless that is not worth much for scrap. They get thrown in with the rest of junk appliances. Scrap price now is $65. Hardly worth doing.

Anyway, have only had fire this year on new patio. Will have to remember to grab some pics.
