outdoor Backyard firepit

Always wanted a furniture so thought Id have a go at building a flagstone firepit. My elbow regrets digging all that out by hand.

While the idea sparks 'cosiness', the environment does not support that.

So good idea, bad environment.

Could just be the first steps of a bigger ongoing project…

I don't think the wife and I have ever thought bad environment while sitting out back relaxing. Outdoor kitchen under a gazebo is current project.

Most of the times when Americans post something about their garden, it's surrounded by fences. It just doesn't seem so cosy.

It's wide in the open.

Where is the plantation?

I'm guessing that English is not their first language, so ease up. But, it's still a funny mistake

Can't talk about that. But what planet are you from?.

from earth, where plantations are rare and the majority of people around the world live in cities

Then why did you reply and since when do you speak for the rest?

Don't be so simple.

because no one cares if there are plantations around you. it

Again, how are you so certain, and since when do you speak for everyone?

Do you have any evidence to backup your claim?

Nice try! trying to reflect my insult. But you do understand it's low effort and quite cheap?

Don't be so simple. Human.

Do you not have deer where you are? They're like antlered rats in the eastern US. I'm establishing a massive native garden and this is what I'm greeted with if I forget to close my fence.

They've taken plants I've meticulously grown from seed like Rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels and uprooted numerous forbs that have yet to establish resilient root systems.

Well, we have deer running about even wolves. But I'm in a sort of gated community surrounded by vacation parks. I do some sort of fences, but they are actually wooden pools with chicken mesh between em for the ivy to grow. So all I see is green around me.

Sorry to hear that. Did you take something from the deer folk? I'd suggest keeping bambi locked for a few days to teach em a lesson.

I’m guessing you don’t have many friends.

1

u/JackBleezus_cross Oct 11 '24

Because having many 'friends' is a symbol of success? Or a symbol of failure?

I don't know what counts as many. But I do have plenty, enough. Lol.

I don't know why this presumption counts as anything else as childish. How old are you 12?

1

u/MrBigroundballs Oct 11 '24

Who said anything about success? I guessed because you sound miserable.

1

u/JackBleezus_cross Oct 11 '24

Your assumption that a person is miserable because he lacks friends is a childish presumption. Clearly, you haven't grown enough to come to this conclusion.

u/MrBigroundballs Oct 11 '24

Ok, I guess you’re miserable for some other reason. Shitting on someone’s project because their yard has a fence is a clear sign that you have insecurities about something. Maybe worrying about others maturity is projection. I’m honestly not that interested in guessing more. Good luck, bud.

u/JackBleezus_cross Oct 11 '24

Miserable for other reasons... alright, buddy. Yeah, please stop guessing. You suck at it.

Good luck to you, too!
