Fire in the hole!


The Home Depot deals just keep coming!
We've been hankering for an outdoor fireplace/fire pit since we moved in, but either didn't like what we saw in the stores or didn't want to pay the asking price for what we did like.
Until this week.
Home Depot's sale insert in Thursday's newspaper touted the Hampton Bay Benedetto outdoor fireplace for a mere $99. The Home Depot website lists it for $299, so a $200 discount seemed like a decent deal. The insert said there was a limited number of them in stock and when we got there at noon yesterday they had two in boxes and one display model. We snarfed one of the two boxed units, jammed it into the back of the Subaru Forester and Maria brought it home when he came home from work last evening.
We worked on the assembly process for a couple of hours last night and I finished it up after lunch today. Looks good and, since it's sprinkling off and on today, I have it under its rain cover.
This crappy photo is from the Home Depot website. It looks a bit nicer in person.
