early in the summer we finally found the coloured glass for the fire pit…

shortly after that it ran out of propane so we had to get the tank filled…

then it was warm, so I didn’t use it…

a while ago, I tried to turn it on and discovered there was a problem with the ignition system…

the kids figured out the problem, consulted with electricians and eventually ordered the required piece…

took some time, but it finally arrived…

we took out the tank and brought the fire pit into the kitchen… pieces came off and then we spotted a wasp nest… thought they were dead, but then they started to move… quickly it got put outside, spray was applied and it was left out there….

tonight, the stars aligned, and after some serious activity on the deck, it is working again…

yay, yay, yay…
