So, after many days of sun but no yard-work to do because the ground is still frozen and the nights are below zero, we could not wait any longer and had to have a fire (rednecks huh..). We really like our new place and have finished many of the reno's so we decided it was time to relax. After a day of cleaning and vacuuming the vehicles we cut some kindling, cleaned up the yard a bit (where there was no snow or ice) (ha ha maritimers) and set the fire pit in a nice sunny spot where it will stay until Daryl builds it a permanent home. After roasting some deer/elk smokies, eating some Doritos and drinking beer, it was time to move inside as the temperature dropped down to -2 (and we got bored). Once inside, we put together our new patio furniture and tested it by the new fire in the woodstove. We especially like the light up palm tree Daryl's mom brought us back from the U.S, as it adds a "tropical" feel to our basement.
