I freaking love the idea of putting posts into planters. Absolutely brilliant.

[@KoiAi_]

All made with love 🌺 it's beautiful!

[@candaceturcotte2863]

You fantastic man!!! I have been trying to find away to string lights exactly how you did for 2 summers. Can’t wait to start this project! Thank you so very kindly.

[@acegardner4425]

❤❤

[@edogedogedo]

If you want your lights to run a reasonable amount of time, it’s worth just getting a jackery, then you can charge your phone or Bluetooth speakers when hanging out by the fire too!

[@mssixty3426]

Your commentaries are the best laughs of my day! Thank you,

[@jbaby362]

That dog was so happy it was done, how sweet

[@franciscosanpedro3836]

Never use glues on fire place, you’ll be inhaling chemicals, use concrete mix. Or none at all the weight of the blocks already hold it down

[@SirPeluza]

That's exactly what I was thinking. The weight of the blocks should be more than enough but if you have kids some concrete mix will save you

[@franciscosanpedro3836]

@@SirPeluza Yes some concrete will help especially if you have kids or pets around. The Glue is mostly for 5ft tall block retaining walls outside. And their are different types of glue adhesives.

[@Dgafsranger]

There's a type they make that is for outdoor fire pits it's resists heat and don't put out chemicals to inhale or at least that's the claim lol

[@mikelow4374]

Was thinking the same thing.. I've had concrete in a caulking tube before but don't think that's what he had

[@mikelow4374]

@@Dgafsranger I wouldn't trust it lol

[@rachelp8183]

I love the flowers around the stakes for the lights!!

[@mayadeppweber7790]

The dog was so proud of u ❤❤❤

[@BrennanJspencer]

I love the planters idea

[@mikelow4374]

cool idea, however the moisture in the soil will rot the posts faster

[@GinaKayLandis]

@mike cedar posts last a lot longer than, say, pine.😊

[@kimboenig2965]

you are a good man.. how wonderful.. ♥️🔥 what a lovely oasis. she is definitely cherished. Enjoy and keep being this man. i wish I were as cherished except I have to do the walkway etc because I actually look at KZbin videos and want to learn how lol and get it done.. so many projects and work.. men can be generous if they want to. great job and I like your tutorial. where do you get the thing that runs the lights. super great idea I thought you were going to do solar. nice

[@theharringtons2010]

What a fab ideas about putting the posts in concrete and then in bigger pots - fantastic

[@Aarenthewriter]

Amazing DIY work, amazing enjoy the fruit of your labors❤🔥🪵💨😘

[@bimgorling2036]

Penny reminds me of my late staffy Lola! So happy to just be close to her humans, and trying everything in her repertoire to get some attentions! 🤣😍

[@bimgorling2036]

Lola would sit/jump on anything I was working on! 🤣❤️

[@mindofmantae8288]

Awesome. I’m gonna build on for my mom soon. This was perfect! Especially with the lights! She would love something like that.

[@debbieek1117]

LOVE YOU DUDE, SOOO CRAFTY 😊🎉

[@gregoryclark7566]

Love the fire pit. That looks really nice!

[@sGypsyKiing1984]

Good work, mate.

[@cfaz6763]

I really like how your dog was so excited getting ready to congratulate you that you finished it LOL. "You did it!"

[@ellenswartz7203]

Good stuff. Can’t wait to see what’s coming

[@infiniteadam7352]

Would be awesome to landscape all around that really nice

[@The_Vaporizer]

Love it! I'm doing one and planting citronella all around in a big circle to ward off mosquitos

[@jfxcanadajeffchannel]

You do everything 😮

[@taliajensen7748]

Love it 😍

[@joehannigan5280]

Wow u got talent 😎I'm going to do this thank u from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@stephb7827]

I just found you and love your commentary! (Your projects are awesome too)!

[@mosesmanaka8109]

You need to let air flow in from the base of the walls to keep your fire going.

[@Miranda-cw9hq]

Was thinking the exact same thing. He's going to battle to keep that fire alive. And it's going to smoke like a bitch too.

[@swannoir7949]

So should he have spaces or gaps in between the bottom blocks?

[@literate-aside]

Beautiful, and clever solution to power, even though you're stepping up the voltage only to step it down again 😉

[@donnachevalier7460]

Awesome ❤

[@i_n_sist8641]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[@mattybaddT.V]

I’m doing this this weekend thankyou I really like the design simple I literally was going to do a giant circle in gravel but this is much easier and quicker

[@Goldenhour24]

Solar lights are helpful. Nice oasis!

[@stellaesquibel7568]

Lucky you 👍👏🙋

[@TracesofTwaunsLife]

Love it

[@viralisticSM]

🔥🔥🔥 idea

[@GerryStilton]

So satisfying 😅 and doggie approved 😆

[@TizonaAmanthia]

looking good so far! I feel like some kind of planty hedge for partial walls would be neet. you might try something similar to a windowbox, but larger, on the ground, a 3-6' trellis covered in some kind of vining plant. that you can move around as needed. or inground plant if you're ready to solidify, but I think a small, "wall" would add a bit of "enclosure and sense of space" give it a little cozy, but the small sections wont' make it TOO enclosed, it's an outdoor oasis after all.

[@Miranda-cw9hq]

And then put castor wheels on the bottom of the box planter for easy mobility😉

[@EdugeBDroN]

I like his humor

[@wakawaka8257]

Cool 😎💯

[@SmokingRun]

I love it.

[@kmsvensson]

Awesome!

[@pjsfirstm]

Next comes the pool and jacuzzi 😅

You got a Twin Bother with your skill😂😂😂😂😂😂your wife Blessed women 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@Kaitheguy27]

rick steve’s if you fast forward him lol try it

[@HappyFish50]

Forgot to leave small spacing in the bottom bricks for air to flow. But it looks awesome!!!

[@oldnickus]

I love how you use silicone or something to glue those stones together haha must give a real nice sent when the fire burns!!

[@debbiehadad7968]

nice!

[@rtshaw3621]

What a sweetheart

[@Acornsgo]

Thanks for thetip for us gods

[@fireteamomega7]

We have those Italian café string lights too, except ours' has the solar panel, it works in the winter too.

[@maximoto2400]

now they are even gluing stones together

[@robc26]

Question/suggestion : is it possible to run the lights powered by a few garden solar panels?

[@travisboothe4339]

I'm addicted to watching these DIY projects, but this guy looks way too young to sound so old! Why does he sound like he's gonna offer the kids a Werther's Original, though?! lol

[@ctrip75]

Epic

[@aaronjaben7913]

no air holes, smokey oasis

[@joyceschmidt7372]

You can use a spade cut a line in the ground to run lines if you absolutely have to, but honestly I prefer solar

[@mommab1969]

Does the water beads in a planter help to keep containers more hydrated and help plants ???

[@MrBojangles.]

Çok güzel yapmışsın. Sıra benim bahçemde 😊

[@kkgibbs1]

My curiosity is peaked. Stay tuned for part 2

[@BaconBandage]

Cute. But I agree, needs something more.

[@niza3470]

The hands on men they said to marry😂😂 love man❤

[@oraakkeli]

you could also use it as a grill, just put a flat steel screen on top of the fireplace, and boom, now you can also cook sausages and corn. or anything else.

[@AlexRamirez-vz1vj]

I can't even be in by back yard without being eaten by mosquitos

[@HoneyBee-zh9zw]

Your grass looks like mine, in winter mode😢😢😢all spring and summer long💔

[@stephenmangini9594]

Where did u get the pre cut blocks? Lowe’s and Home Depot has the cheap looking imitation stone. Yours looks better please let me know thx.

[@eighty7nines]

❤

[@pinkcashmere1908]

What about solar string lights?

[@TheNavagePatch]

I'll be doing a few more projects for this oasis and the inverter will be used for different devices not only for lights :-) I don't want to give the surprise away, so follow us to see what will be next ;-)

[@Dgafsranger]

Could have used a cheap solar pad to run them lol

[@selenac.798]

What sucks about fire pitts, for me anyways, after while, we always have to shovel out ash!

[@Skwid-Lives]

U can get solar ones

[@eldercheesenuggets]

Inverter paired with a solar panel would be Op asf

[@lovethosebudgies]

What is the bottom of the firepit? Rock, sand, bricks?

[@GoldenSheenObsidan]

There’s no wife here.

[@whatthecrap9928]

Solar Led string lights....youre welcome!

[@seabreezeblank1513]

They make the same thing in solar lights so there was absolutely no reason to run it from a battery just by solar lights

[@JDawn86]

Did you have to use a few sets of string lights or did you find some that long? If so what brand?

[@tinman362]

a thermoelectric generator would be cool for something like this.

[@devingoss2863]

From now one now ordinary Smokey fire pit will be NOT be build by me. Only ones to build is the smokeless one, well worth it.

[@danielpa0415]

Is the fire ring a necessity?

[@xs2681]

Why not use solar light?

[@thesearchforfreedominchris1730]

I follow

[@coziii.1829]

How do you clean it out

[@jeweloftheisle498]

I want a husband like you. Brilliant job! I can do it anyway without a husband 🤣🤣🤣

[@craigcarter1244]

Make a roof so it's like a gazebo

[@the_retag]

Posts are going to rot Looks nice tho

[@court2379]

Not sure that glue is going to be effective because the stone will heat up and melt it.

[@jimboyle6974]

What's the deal with the convetor for the lights, please?

[@GinaKayLandis]

Inverter - converts one type of power to another.

[@kristen3496]

What is the size of the insert?

[@LimonEllie]

Do you know what the definition of pit is?

[@coziii.1829]

Bury a pvc pipe with your extension cord it’s not expo I got one 300 foot

[@corlisspickett8038]

A hart 20 volt what.😊

[@GinaKayLandis]

inverter

[@zack-lk8if]

isn't there lights like that with solar panels? seems easier and cheaper than that

[@xM3RC1L3SS1x]

Where did you get the fire cover?

[@iComplainer]

looks like a lovely place to get ticks 💞

[@karl6852]

I aspire to be a God. How high can I safely stack my stone blocks? The last thing I want is an ungodly collapse.
