Fire Ring Updates & T.J.'s Workbench

Apparently I posted TJ's recycled fire ring project a little prematurely. Just a few short days later I had a full accompaniment of woodsy outdoor furniture to go with it. 

Last night we finally had time, the right weather, and company. Perfect for a fire.

In other news, he has also been hard at work in the garage putting together a much needed workbench.

We are far from done with the garage organizing project... but this is a start.

Now if only I could get him to guest blog about it....

 
... While I was out taking pictures of the outdoor furniture I noticed how beautiful our backyard tree had become. I am not going to lie, I was hoping a little it would be fiery red, but I think the yellow it is turning is fitting to match our little yellow house. :-)

Backyard Camp Fire

T.J. and I have had many discussions about where our fire pit should go. T.J.'s dad has an awesome built in fire ring in his deck, which we considered attempting. In the end we thought it would be best to put it out in the yard, away from where the deck will be, and most importantly away from the house! T.J. recycled these old bricks and used the pavers left behind by the previous owners for the base, making this project totally free.

Now if only it would not rain on one of the nights I don't have class... we could enjoy it!
