we had wood saved under a tarp to protect it, and it worked for several days, but the last rain soaked the grround, and while the wood stayed dry on top—the bottoms soaked up the moisture from the rain..
All we have is what we toseed up on the dry corner of the porch, and what was near the fireplace.
I make a fire with my dry wood and stack enough wood for my next fire by the fireplace. It actually drys back out pretty quickly

I purchase an electric fireplace / heater. It’s looks really nice, flame looks real and it heats up the room. It would be perfect if it had a L shaped pipe on top which led to the wall. I’m looking for a way to make one, any ideas ? It need to be black which I can paint. Thank You…
Check the trash behind a place that sells Carpet they should have some large Cardboard rolls. Just be careful that the card board will not be in contact with any source of heat.
Have fun.

Home Depot’s lowest price is $100 which isn’t terrible but I’d like to find one closer to $65. It’s hard to think of stores that might sell this.
Try craigslist.org in your area.Just type outdoor fireplace in the homepage search bar and any that are for sale, will come up.Keep checking as new ads come up every day(actually every hour)

I am just outside of Toronto, looking to build some sort of 3-4 season sunroom. My husband is very capable of building his it, but we just have not had much exposure to different designs, or materials which may work better than others. I just want a place where we can hang out, not necessarily in the dead of winter. Maybe have a floor heater, or fireplace or something if it is a little chilly.
Various companies make prepackaged sunrooms, but you would probably save money by having your husband do the work. Here’s one idea for a three season porch using stock wooden storm doors with interchangeable screen and window inserts as stationary porch panels:

Here’s another idea, this one a screened porch, but you could adapt the ideas for a three season room.
