You have a lovely yard Jeremy. The only thing missing is a live band. Maybe that's on for next weekend.

Very nice! Wife and I where outside with a fire for a bit tonight until some wasp or something dive-bombed me and stung me right on my wrist. It returned for round two and I got a good shot in on it but we decided to cut our loses and head inside

Then fireside with a beer just in time for some cooler weather I hope.

Nice idea Rob, those blocks should last a long time being shielded like that.

thanks - inspired by ideas on this thread from Jdubs and Doewacker.   Hopefully finished pics this weekend.

Finished.    Fire coming soon have to let bonding dry for a bit.  Gotta stain wood and then put up lattice on sides and finish bottom flower boxes.  My outside summer project.

Ok , I’m retired and when I was working I never cared about rec fires, but folks would call them in a lot . It’s often because of a neighbor issue, they don’t like you , you’re to loud ,the smoke bothers them and so on.

So you guys will know what’s what’s and how to handle it. NYS code, a rec fire just on the ground, has to be 25 feet from a structure, and shed and fences count , if it’s in a pit 15 feet I don’t carry a tape measure either  . There must be a means to,put it out . I’d ask if there was a garden hose hooked up to the house  , the dumb ones would say no..... I’d ask again . Oh and size is 3 foot diameter, with a 2foot high pile , max . Again I never cared but that’s the code. In the city we’d have folks burning old dresser draws on the apartment parking lot,that’s mostly the type we put out .

It can’t be left unattended, it must be put out when you go inside for the night . We never went looking for,them and frankly hated going for them , it is ALWAYS a neighbor complaint , so,invite them or at least get along .

I would love to know what that is like. Wind here has been 30-40mph all week and most of the winter

Ugh, i am not a fan of wind, we have huge pines here, and it scares me to be honest.  We have had some windy days, but lately it has been a bit more settled.

we have a burn ban still in place in our area.  But this weekend is a washout anyway but really wanted to have a fire Friday night and grill out.  So much for that .
