In this episode of the Camphouse Shed Saga I decide to knock out the fire pit, TV, and porch soffit since the weather has been keeping me off the roof. These details are some of my favorites of this project and it's really cool seeing it all come together.
I'm currently powering the shed with this: s.zbanx.com/r/9vEnu3AXyZWx

This smokeless fire pit looks absolutely amazing! The innovative design and technology behind it are truly impressive. Not only does it provide all the cozy warmth and ambiance of a traditional fire pit, but the fact that it's smokeless means a cleaner and more enjoyable outdoor experience for everyone. Perfect for gatherings with friends and family without having to worry about smoke blowing in your face or bothering neighbors. I'm definitely considering getting one for my backyard - thanks for sharing this awesome find!

Coming from a landscaping background I'd suggest laying out a couple trails of gravel or pavers to get from the shed to the fire pit and then mulching everything else. That way you can plant in the mulched area later if you want

This… pavers will be more kind to lawn chairs and kids and less mud in the shop…

@PaganWizard Жыл бұрын

I agree with you, but rather than using real wood chip mulch, I would probably go with the rubber variety. It's made from recycled tires, which keeps them out of landfills, and it holds it's color a lot longer than tree mulch. The rubber mulch is also friendlier to the skin when your kids are running around acting like, well, kids, and they fall, no splinters.

@myronperish7551 Жыл бұрын

@PaganWizard I disagree with that for 2 reasons, first it takes away from the nature look and second recycled tires still give off a petroleum smell which I think would be very unpleasant to sit around. Have you ever been on one of those recycled rubber playgrounds for kids? Stinks horrible and I am sure the chemical isn't very good for our systems.

@VE3AVA Жыл бұрын

@@myronperish7551 Yeah, I have to agree with you. Plus the natural mulch will feed your soil microbes over time and since the plan is to have a desirable space for your kids and family stay away from petroleum whenever possible.

I 100% agree. clear pathways of permeable materials is always the way to go. And feeding your soil with mulch can only be beneficial in the long run.

@admcnich Жыл бұрын

Landscaper here, we use the black rubber mallets to level any stone or paver, way softer and lighter then the dead blow. Even though they are called concrete pavers, they are mostly sand and not much for aggregate to make them smooth. A possible cheaper option, we use sand on top of road mix, sand is great for compaction and leveling. As for what you should do around it, break it down into uses. You have a a fire pit, in that zone I would put road fabric down, trail fines, sand, or small gravel for the seating area, maybe put some decorative boulders, and some plant pockets, sod the rest of the area. Think pulling mowers, snowblowers out, can be done with gravel, but easier with sod.

Found your site a few weeks back and have been following this project since the beginning. I too am an engineer (ME) and have been doing woodworking as a hobby since I was young since my dad's hobby was wood working. I turned my hobby into my fulltime job (leaving the business world) until my primary contractor filed bankruptcy on me and I had to go back into the regular work force to support my family. Several years ago I bought a small hobby farm, and my son and I have built several complete buildings (animal shelter, storage barn, workshop, wood barn, etc), and I am thoroughly enjoying watching your thinking processes as you are going through exactly what I went through several years ago. Thank you for this great series, and I am now subscribed and will be following all your projects.

Looks good! Only thing I'm wondering is if the fire is not getting enough air. I think you need to remove a couple blocks at the bottom. Which might be hard at this point with them being glued together. Good luck, again looks great.

Crushed granite is amazing stuff all on its own, but if you want to be super "boujie" you can set flagstone in a layer of it in an ever-widening ring around your fire pit, leaving space between the flagstone so the crushed granite becomes your "grout". I'm having fun watching this build!

@derekl_ Жыл бұрын

For the ground cover, contact a local lawn & plant shop and look for a local/native low-maintenance cover. Usually there is some variety of clover that you can plant or have laid down that does not require mowing since it never grows more than a couple inches tall but the roots will hold the dirt in place, prevent a mud pit, and only requires the occasional watering (if that).

@lukehosman411 Жыл бұрын

Mulch. Easy. And over time will make the entire area less prone to holding water. You could till lightly and put down a shade fescue mix, but that takes time and warmth. I’d mulch for now and in a year or two as weeds/grass take in, till and seed it.

@matthysloedolff Жыл бұрын

Great job! This shed is coming along nicely. Gravel around the fire pit would be a very easy option, but if you ever want to walk barefoot or with thin sole shoes, it will hurt a bit. One option I would suggest is large flat stones you can also use which some people use for paving. It looks a bit better than pavers (more natural) and it doesn't hurt your feet when you walk on it.

I also think you need to vent the TV box, also any sun that hits that black paint or TV early in the day will heat it up when the TV is not even on. A bonus is you can also unlock it the box and swing it inside to watch TV while in the shop in hot or cold weather, or just whenever. As to the ground, I would sod it, but then you have to cut the grass also.

Pavers are always a good option around a fire pit but you should also check out decomposed granite. Compacted gravel base for drainage an then add a compacted layer of decomposed granite on top - should be able to find multiple colors to choose from. You’ll also need edging of some kind (pavers or just landscape edging) to keep it all nice and tidy.

@jayeckhart1561 Жыл бұрын

For the area around the fire pit, I say go with gravel with a curbing of some sort to keep it out of the grass. Kids and mud mix very well, you just need to have a place to hose them off before going into the house.

That grill over the firepit screams great place to cook a pizza while watching the game. Also the gravel under the firepit would have been helped by possibly some drainage filter fabric under the gravel. Any rain that runs towards the firepit is going to pic up dirt and bring it in between all the rocks and essentially glog up the spaces in between. Essentially the same kind of cloth over drainage tile(big O).

That is great progress on your project and fun and educational video as always - thanks! I would go with gravel or pavers next to the fire pit and mulch further away. For gravel you want to have a good base with heavy duty landscape fabric and hexagon mesh to keep it from being washed/kicked away. For mulch put heavy duty landscape fabric first so it won't sink into the much. Notice the pattern of doing good base so things don't sink into the mud - don't ask how I would know 🙂.

I would like to see just leaves and small sticks around the whole area so it looks like you're out in the woods. It won't be muddy once it dries out and the sticks and leaves get down in there and you add a few more big bags of leaves to the area. One thought though, you may want to have some sort of water source out there, like a garden hose, to put out and fires that may happen because of the fire ring/pit. You also don't want to burn down your brand new shed....Greetings from Texas...John B.

I like the suggestions for a couple gravel paths and some pavers, but I wouldn't do traditional mulch. Look at the rubber mulch. It costs a little more, but you don't have to replace it like traditional mulch/bark. It's heavier so it doesn't blow around as much and it's made for playground areas so your kids can enjoy it if you decide to put some stuff around there for them to play on as well. And - it comes in multiple colors, red, blue, green, black, brown - probably more. Brown would blend in quite nicely there around your shed.

Not sure which brand of TV you installed, but if it's Roku, then you can add their Roku wireless speakers and you won't need to run audio cabling, just need 110 VAC outlet nearby. If it's not a Roku TV, you can still use their wireless speakers. You will just need to get their soundbar. For the speakers to wirelessly connect to. The soundbar only needs the ac power and an HDMI cable to connect to the TV through the ARC-HDMI port. Highly recommend doing this as it will improve your sound and allow you to mount them where ever you want as long as you have power.
