The house came with, among a lot of other stuff, some corrugated cement board and a chair with no bottom. It also came with a lot of mess in the hedgerow that needed to be pulled out and dealt with.
The last bit led to a pile of brush larger than a truck.
Cutting it to pieces was only so effective.
Running it through a woodchipper (Small, electric), did some good, but it was slow and loud.
So we bought a firepit.
Enter the corrugated cement board – safe place to put it – and the chair – place to sit and tend it. Add the seat from an otherwise trashed office chair, one concrete block, also from the house, and a laptop.
My butt has one long scrap-bruise, but the laptop is safe.
In other news, sitting outside writing/reading whilst watching the fire burn is lovely.

Mmmmm, fiiiiire! Bonus points for things to cook over it. 🙂 (I wonder if one can bake apples in the embers like potatoes?)
If I’m ever doing the fire at a time other than “it’s nearly dark and it’s cold can I go inside yet?” I’ll let you know!
For oven-baked apples, one can core them and stuff them with raisins and nuts and sugar and spices for extra wow. Maybe not the first time in the fire, though.
Fire! Well done.
