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

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

That's not my yard , it is gorgeous though ,right on the river ,you can see all the lights from the falls in the other direction.

My work in progress.  Hope to finish this weekend.  Gotta finish pergola roof and block in rest of fire pit.  

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.

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:asciidity:

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.
