Now that's what I call a real fire!!!

9/26/09:  Jeff was so bummed that he didn't get to do the first "official" burn in his new firepit and he has been trying in vain ever since to make up for it.  With the rain and all the wood being soaked he had resorted to burning old bills and cardboard boxes - anything he could find that was dry!  But today he finally had a real burn and he was so happy!

Of course we also had a "pool"...or two from all that rain...we still have to figure out the drainage issue...

Picture doesn't do it justice...there was several inches of water pooled up under the deck...
