If you are looking for inspiration before you start creating your backyard dream, this book is it! Lots of great photos that will give you ideas of what can work in your outdoor space. Fireplaces, wood-burning ovens,outdoor kitchens and much more.

That's all. You may be able to get some inspiration from this book, but you could do that by just searching the internet for pics. There are no plans for anything you see. If you do like something and want to build it, you'll have to go elsewhere for the details. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd seen it first. 3 stars for the pics/quality and I did get 1 good idea.

This book has lots of nice pictures, but no design details. It is basically a big picture book. I would have liked to see a lot more substance.

Our view: Burn ban affects us all

Jun 10, 2011 |

St. Johns County Commissioners have extended the countywide burn ban for 90 additional days with the hope that rain during that time will put out the raging fires all around us and in our bordering counties.

The burn ban means that our area is ripe for wildfires because of drought conditions, high temperatures and significant wind. The ban also means that private fireworks are prohibited. Only two public events featuring fireworks have been approved and they are the St. Augustine and the World Golf Village fireworks for the Fourth of July weekend.

The ban also prohibits all residential outdoor burning including leaves, yard debris, campfires, flares and fire pits even those with covers. But if you are in a licensed campground or a state park, you can have an open campfire in a metal ring.

And, outdoor cooking is OK on a bar-be-que grill, hibachi or other device specifically intended for cooking.

Wildfires not only affect our general quality of life community wide but they affect our health because the air we breathe is filled with smoke. So far, our rainfall is minimal and our Keetch-Byram Drought index has our level at 673 on a scale of 800 with 0 being wettest and 800 being driest. And from the looks of our weather conditions and the warnings from state and local fire services, these unfavorable conditions aren't going away any time soon.

Someone close to my area is selling christmas tree fire wood. We have a pit outside to burn it. Is this type of wood okay and good to burn?

how do you make a outside fire pit?

Oct 28, 2007 by metooo

Dig a hole in the ground shaped like a bowl as big as you want the fire to be, then clear the grass,shrubs, and hanging tree branches away about five or six feet bigger than the hole. Put some soccer sized rocks around the outer edge of the hole. Finally strategically place some chairs or nice sized logs about three feet from the rocks, fork up the marshmallows and enjoy. GOOD LUCK!!
