You sneaked that in Tyrus!  I hope we will get to see the delivery, unboxing and the goods you produce.  And no, don't want to interfere with this installation thread so you will need to start one of your own.

I definitely caught that too and would very much like to see a unboxing thread.

Went and picked up my building blocks this week. 16" x 8" x 4". 90 blocks per pallet. I really only needed 1 1/2 pallets but they had 2 nice wrapped pallets sitting there. I figure if I bought both pallets I could get a deal and I can always find a use for extra blocks in the future. Started talking to the man in charge about cutting me a deal, he was willing to play ball. I told him since he was cutting me a deal I'd write him a check instead of paying by debit card to save him the 3% processing fee. In return he didn't charge me sales tax. Win, Win all around. 2 pallets, 180 blocks, $450 total. Oh Yeah. At HD or Lowes this would have cost $700 + tax.

Unfortunately I have to work tomorrow and it's going to rain all day Sunday. At the least this weekend I'll go buy what I need to reconfigure my electricity. We'll see what happens.

I didn't have enough time after work today to get anything major accomplished but I did want to do a test fit of the blocks to see how everything fits in the alloted space. 

 

The front pavers will be set down in the ground flush with garden stones. 

 

The stone stand will be on a cement footer and obviously built up taller. The oven will sit on the left side with a wood storage area below. A slate (?) counter top will be on the right side. It will sit one or two courses shorter and measure approximately 30" x 40". There is a small storage area underneath for probably a kindling bin.

You musta been a car salesman in another life to crack that deal. Good job

Nope but I'm willing to haggle a bit if it seems like I'll get somewhere with it. This is a totally kewl landscaping place. Way cheaper for everything compared to the big box stores and family owned. I'll snap a few pictures when I go later this week to pickup my "counter top".

Well it rained all day. Took the opportunity to go buy some parts. Got a 4"x4"x8' to give me two short fence poles. Also bought the electrical parts I need. This week coming up I should be able to set my fence poles, dig up and rebury my electrical run. I don't want to install the new electrical boxes or the fence pieces until I get the blocks and pavers set in place.

Went and bought my "counter top". Almost a perfect size, I'll have to cut 8"-12" off the far pointy end. Nice and rustic and no issues putting hot CI items down on it. Best part only $23

Beech Tree Supply, Warner Robin's, GA. A totally awesome landscaping supply company, I'm just not into landscaping. Sounds like too much work to me - LOL
