DIY Light Up Patio & Smokeless Fire-pit - Full Build

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Thanks for watching! What should I build in my parent's backyard next year? Golf Green?? Cabana?? Bunker?? Space launch pad??

[@KyleVanRuitenburg91]

Golf green for sure! Using Artificial green turf and a sand bunker built into one side that doubles as a sandbox for the kiddos

[@DanielMaritz-fb5ub]

Build a 1:1 scale of LA, an Eiffel Tower would be great and if you wanted to you could easily make a Statue of Liberty!

[@117themax]

Bunker for sure!

It surely is...❤

[@claypowerscience]

I have done stamped concrete for years, decks, patios, and all kinds of retainer walls, landscaping, and so on. I own a plumbing company , and I'm a third generation builder and contractor. I want to say I have enjoyed the tiny house build, the bikes, vans, the hot pool, and so on. But dude the imagination and the workmanship in this build and the hot pool build are just awesome. You are are an inspiration for our generation of techy tradesman to share your work, thoughts, ideas, and their hard work. I love what you are doing. Keep it up, and don't change a thing! I would love to do a collab on a pool or just something crazy! Best wishes!

As a long-time mason, I can only say, "WOW!" That's very nice work you did. And you saved yourself a lot of money! on labor.

But did the leds help?

There is nothing click bait about your videos Drew. You are very creative with any work that you put out and it is definitely one of a kind. Keep up the great work and teaching us through your experiences.

[@johngardiner8847]

The fact that you waste NO EFFORT to always do every job the absolute right way is a big factor in your craftsmanship, your quality is unparalleled Another amazing video

[@BigJeddak187]

It is incredibly profound how much lighting can transform an entire space. The stone vaneer and concrete work you did was already awesome, but those led lights brought such an elegance to that already beautiful flagstone. Who knew it was even needed! Lol. Bravo to you bro, you definitely surpassed a bar you probably didn't even know you were reaching for. Your parents are very lucky and blessed to have raised a son like you. You're their legacy man. A damn good one 👍🏽👏🏽👊🏽💯

[@ryanp9765]

Your parents must be pretty proud of you and what you have accomplished. not too mention you keep adding value to their home! Very inspirational. Now, I just have to make sure my wife never sees this video!

[@armandoverluchi6324]

Man ! That Is THE MOST BEAUTIFULL FIREPIT i've ever seen !!!! Wauwwww👌👌👌 I'm a Carpenter for 27 years and i can tell you, this is amazing man 👌 absolutely Amazing!!! Keep building Drew!

[@acciojosh]

Your videos are always impressive, not just for the quality of the content, but for the cinematography, sound, and clear editing. I appreciate the time and effort you put into them as much as the amazing creations I'm watching you build. And, the little fan thirst moments are always a highlight 😅 You know your audience and how to cater to us for sure. Fantastic, Drew, as always. I would love this patio and a night of a smokeless fire with those lights dimmed down to give it a subtle ambiance and warmth that adds to the fire itself ❤

[@hafwaybrown]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[@Hfarms22]

You should definitely build a backyard kitchen. These projects are amazing

[@tegannottelling]

Good to see you are working smarter not harder. Hope your neck and shoulder recovers. Love the result!

[@magnuscircle]

It was so fun to watch a master builder with great presentation and editing skills move the process along at a comfortable pace. The flagstone LED glass grout is a game-changer. The whole presentation was relaxing, informational, and entertaining all at once. I guess I know who went to woodshop/landscaping design and masonry classes in high school. Well done!

Make sure you get your shoulder and back addressed! Laying in bed watching this after an artificial disc replacement last week. Made me think about everything I lifted over the last 43 years of my life, lol. Both shoulders, both knees, and one elbow have been worked on in one form or another. Get ahead of it now because I'd like to be watching these videos for the next 15-20 years. I don't need you wearing out on me.

[@kayecastleman6353]

I left a comment in an earlier video about my son, who builds custom homes. He's just a few years older than you, but when he was about your age he started going to yoga classes twice a week. He realized all the older guys on the job site could hardly bend any more, and they had issues with their back and knees. My son wanted to try to prevent that if he could. Now he's much more flexible, and those daily aches and pains are much less. You may want to try some gentle classes between now and March. One of the things my son enjoys about yoga, apart from all the fit young women who attend, is being able to ace the strength poses they struggle with. Please try some form of stretching and balancing workout - NOT BODY BUILDING. The kind of work you do is repetitive and demanding, and can pull your normal alignment out of whack, and that's what causes most people's pain. There are a wide variety of bodywork techniques besides yoga that can bring you back into structural balance. Good luck!

[@Joe-x1p7j]

Your backyard is covered in some of the best builds ever. Seriously, your stuff is amazingly. Never give up and keep doing great things.

Now all you need to do is build a matching firewood rack. Perhaps plant some trees for a windbreak. If you ever go to modify it, you could put lights under the bench seats.

Add shrubs that match the curvature of the stone. They’ll provide privacy in what looks like a pretty open back yard and they may reduce wind, which may take the fire and might make enjoying the fire pit easier in colder weather. Nice work.

I love the patio, I bet you can’t wait to have a fire sitting by that. Growing up, we had a shower on the side of the house. I loved using that shower any time of the year the hoses would not freeze. I think with your flare you could put in a outside shower that would have drawers to put The towels eliminating the need to go into the house and get a towel to shower outside the house. Ha ha. I would love to see what your idea of a fully functional outdoor shower would be like. I can’t wait to see your designs and what it looks like when you finish making it.
