      @@tonycerniglia9455 did you ever make it to the original Wendy’s on Broad St in Columbus before the tore it down? We went a couple times when we still lived in Marion. It was set up with the old newspaper tables. Shame they got rid of it.

    Hello guys. The wood box looks great. Easy open lid. I like it. Put some wheels on it. So you can move it easy. 💕

    Hey Craig nothin wrong by the way you build things I feel I do the same , I wing it too & it always turns out if not, I also adjust it. The firebox look great , I love the rustic look and the wood used good size you won't have to be running out to gather wood constantly. Thanks for the info On the Fireweed I did not know that, very interesting summer went by too fast for me. As for Wendy's it is a block away lol. Real nice video Folks .

    Don’t forget to fix your plow for snow removal. Better now than in the cold or snow. Also any early winter projects. Hate to see you guys struggle. Predictions on snow & real cold weather for around lower parts of Alaska is second or third week in September , wether it’s to be true or not it’s a wait and see .. take care.

      @@suepeterson5675 I sure hope they’re wrong! The other part of the Fireweed old wives tale is, the taller the plant the more snow. This is the tallest I’ve seen it in the seven years we’ve been here. Probably better order the plow parts sooner than later!
