Hi all here, I am happy to be a part of this forum. We bought a house recently. I love gardening and have already started balcony gardening. But the backyard is not matching with the surroundings and I would like to have a renovation done. I saw a blog while I was searching for some reno ideas. [ http://inthebackyard.ca/5-best-backyard-renovation-ideas-for-2016/ ]. I am confused with what to choose. My husband suggested having a family fire pit, as we had one in our old house, and we loved spending time there. Could you please help me with any designs or ideas regarding fireplace? Is there any special thing to be taken care of?
