    Those silvers can be a real treat. Especially when frozen and the hinge snaps out at 5" thickness. ..

    It's a fire extinguisher box, the family has an OWB around 20 feet from the base of the tree, thats where he used to keep the extinguisher but moved it into the OWB shed once it was built. There's also a huge indoor swimming pool around 40' behind us in these pics, it's heated with the OWB and they use it year round.

    Nice job! So home owner is keeping the wood for the boiler? Looks like a cold day, heated handles would have been nice. :shiver:

    Yes, it was chilly! And yeah they're keeping the wood. We've done a ton of work for this homeowner over the years, they have a huge peacock/duck pen that had a few big trees snap out on it during a storm this past summer, I think I did a thread on those trees too. Very nice people that have an amazing property.
