Since I Am Mucking Around in PB, My HM Patio Firepit!

[mydakota]

This is another of Hubbys projects from last summer. He used an old drum from a washing machine, some scrap for legs, some leftover spray paint, and an old grate from a defunct Weber grill! We roasted marshmallows on it all summer long and had regular "campfires" out on the patio. The best part of camping is the fire, right?

Cool Idea. Gonna share with my hubby. "Hey baby, gotcha a new project."

The screws holding the legs on were the total cash outlay. Everything else was salvaged. Total price? $.78.

How ever could you afford it?

How do you get the metal tub separated from all the plastic??? I have the innards of a old washer in my back yard right now and I can't get just the tub out.

The agitator should unscrew from the inside, and then you should be able to disconnect everything once you get the front panel off. Hubs fixed our old washing machine a few years ago and it was amazing how it all came apart (and fortunately all went back together!)

Okay, Mr. Kota says that there is a spanner nut on the center post inside on the drum. This must be taken out with a chisel or screwdriver and hammer. Then the whole thing will lift up and out.

Ah! Thanks!
