    She’s a keeper! Nice work. I do agree you should re-bolt those hanging chairs with through bolts that have a nut and washers at the top. Looks very nice.

    Really great job. I would use 3/8 galvanized bolts with 3/8 x1-1/2” stainless fender washers. The blocking should also be stained or painted. I have used the foam in place pole stuff a few times and since have returned to concrete. I would definitely hire you to build mine, so from an ole timer to you-thanks for sharing the great work.

      I do too or worse barefoot. We used to live on about 2.5 acres bordering the intracoastal /marsh...lots of huge old trees, deadfall , critters and snakes. I wore boots for mowing but otherwise mostly no shoes and my husband just didn't understand 🤣. What's worse is I don't have tough feet, but there's just something about grounding to the earth I guess. Acorn jab to the arch or not... Lol

  • @neilforehand1121

    Love it and my compliments on the hard work it took to complete. The only problem I see is the little insert on the fire pit. Remove it so you can get a serious fire going that would actually keep you warm on those chilly nights!

    One big problem I see with this is you’re using lag bolts to install the brackets to hang the chairs from you should use regular bolts that are drilled all the way through the wood and have washers and nuts on the end. Sooner or later the wood where those lag bolts are screwed into will decay enough that they will pull out and the chair will hit the ground. It will last much longer if you use long bolts through the wood. The applies to hanging any chair or swing, especially porch swings. Plenty of videos out there with swings collapsing because they use lag bolts.
