New Grill - Location and Design
In order to set the table I must re-grade the patio but the grill is in the way. I decided I had to do something or be stymied. I took the pencil and paper and just drew it out. That probably took me all of fifteen minutes. When I had it drawn I looked up and realized that all my uncertainty had disappeared. I thought to myself, "I can do this." This is the first time I used graph paper to draw a brick design. This was very easy to draw. Using pencil, paper, and imagination is much better than scrabbling around in the dirt experimenting with bricks trying to figure something out. DUH, REALLY NOW?!
I decided that I would put the grill this side of the table in the picture. The next thing to do is to lay a solid base on which to stack the grill. I will take the freshly loosened screenings I was going to use for the table to do the base. I feel rich having all this gravel material and bricks at my disposal to do whatever I am able to dream up.
