Rain, rain go away
Bring my love a sunny day!
The weather has actually been really nice this spring however, according to the forecast, the next several days are going to be rainy just like today. No worries though, a little stormy weather won't stop the hubs. He will work in the yard rain or shine. Currently he is working on the DIY fire pit which he completely redesigned this week after asking one of our neighbors for his suggestions on the design and materials for the bench and wall.
Last fall the fire pit itself was finished and had actually been used a few times so the last stage to be completed was the bench and wall. The rock for the seating was in place and he had also poured the cement retaining wall behind it which you can see above or go here to read the full post. His plan was to resume and finish the project in late spring early summer by covering the retaining wall with special natural looking rock in in similar color tones and made for that purpose and top the seating with wood planks.
Well, that plan entirely changed this week and he has taken out all the big rock and is going to use all wood for the back wall and bench.
He plans to have the entire area framed in this weekend and once we have chosen the wood he will finish it up.
His plans include a S'mores stick holder on one end as well as a wood rack on the other end. I have also asked the hubs to make a matching tabletop to cover the fire pit when not in use and am hoping I can find a few pillows to add to the bench as well.
Our flowers are beginning to bloom and our fruit and vegetables are looking good. We even had ripe strawberries this week! The DIY Total Yard Makeover is coming together and will be in full bloom soon.
So, rain or shine, I am sure there will be progress on the fire pit this week which I will be sure to share.
Happy Saturday!
