So today my hubby and I were going to level out the area where out BBQ sits. You see, the wind flipped it over back in January, and destroyed it. But, our great weather yesterday did not hold š And so… no outside work for us today, but here’s a look at the mini project anyway.
Here’s where the BBQ usually sits.

Well, this is the one that ‘got away’, but we’ve bought a new one.
And this is the little area we need to level.

Well, not exactly… this is how it looked when we moved in. But we’ve since relocated the drain pipe, and pulled all the weeds. Do you remember the whole landscaping project back in the summer? (You can read about it here, here and here). We need to maximize this area soĀ the BBQ can be swung away from the house when we’re using it.
The spot is only about 4′ x 6′, so we’ve been looking into paving stones, aggregate slabs, and a few other options. We also want to incorporate a tie-down system to secure our new BBQ in place from the nasty winds we get.
Here’s some of our inspiration.

I know we’ll have to be careful how much space is left between whatever we decide to use for paving stones or slabs, and if we go gravel in between, it’ll have to be small, but this area really is so tiny that I think we’ll be able to get away with more than most.
I think we’re headed off to at least look at our paving stone options!
Have you got any plans for the weekend? I hope whatever you’re doing, it’s a great one!
