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!

[@Matty4K-YT]

A pimped up Drew-quality gazebo, obviously 😁

Meh. It's a good day. A great day requires caulk.

[@hassanimtiaz5707]

It surely is...❤

[@TracyMcCoy369]

This is the kind of “influencing” that we need to see, Drew. It’s a pleasure to watch your work and listen to your tutorials.

[@BoudicasQuest]

I can't get over how *beautiful* this is!

[@cameronscott5576]

I've never been "blown away" by a build before, having watched hundreds of projects and remodels on yt. This one took the cake. Awesome Drew! Can't wait for the tiny house interior.

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@bobuncle6962]

Totally brilliant!

Drew should have more followers than Mr Beast this is the kind of stuff youtube was made for

Such a cool project Drew!!! Your creativity and skills never cease to amaze me. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next.

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

That’s very generous! Thank you and I’m glad you enjoyed the video

[@mikewhelan2178]

I have spent many nights with my partner and our 2 dogs, mezmerised by the Canadian sights and sounds of your channel - Its the coziest and homeliest of content that feels like a byproduct of your part of the world, Please never stop making new videos Drew - Us Aussies need it!

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

That’s awesome! Thanks for watching 😉

[@willslatimer]

This is one of the best patio builds I have ever seen. The LEDs combined with the glass stone is utterly amazing. Great video.

[@lurchie]

I LOVE the way the glass diffuses the lights. Well done!

[@Iceever]

We come here nor because of LEDs, but because you make great videos

[@DrewBuildsStuff]

But did the leds help?

[@Fritzerbacon.]

@@DrewBuildsStuff I'd be lying if I didn't say that your "basement window to anywhere" video got me into LEDs 😅

[@Iceever]

@@DrewBuildsStuff Yes, it does. Way better then simple light on the wall

[@OdeonOnline]

And the caulk jokes. Let's not forget the caulk jokes.

[@oreobenavidez953]

You are so talented and honestly I wasn't drawn in cause of the led lights really!! I'm just amazed at the things you create and also being in pain please slap on some knee pads your knees will thank you great work it looks amazing from the sky drone,,. take care 😊

[@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!

[@conrickwatson9746]

I hope 1 day I get to see a 2-3 hour compilation of all your work around the house over the years

[@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 ❤

[@tady64]

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.

[@mattbellina5485]

I believe you have just started an enormous new trend. So awesome!

[@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

[@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!

[@tegannottelling]

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

[@mattdarbyshire4962]

Far and away, the coolest fire pit I've seen so far. Job well done

[@robertbrady3783]

Excellent job! I didnt watch the video because of the lights, but after I saw them they are quite novel. It would be cool to see the fire pit with lights in the mortar lines as well, have then turn on with a low red glowing to look like the fire or lava escaping the fire pit and flowing along the walk way. the quality of the stone build is awesome!

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!

[@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!

[@Daryl3737]

What an outstanding video. This is a master class on how to make a DIY instructional video, encompassing filmography, hardscaping and design.

[@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 👍🏽👏🏽👊🏽💯

[@sssrp80]

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.

[@matasa7463]

@@DrewBuildsStuff Yeah, anything non-emergency they keep pushing. I'd ask your doctors to push things harder, because it sounds like it is getting worse, not better.

[@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!

[@MrMorrigan1989]

I had no Idea concrete stamps are a thing, that elevated this whole slab times 10 I love it

[@Subrinasflavourfusion]

Please show us the reaction of your family, it makes people more connected to your content. You're doing well; keep it up!

[@ronsimpson143]

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.
