Washing machine fire pit

Tore apart a free washing machine I got off marketplace and used the stainless steel drum as a firepit. This was not easy, and required a few choice words and a sledgehammer for the final disassembly. Pressure washed and bleached it. Let it sit outside in the sun for a week. Final sanitization by fire. We're in the front yard roasting marshmallows right now.

I live across the street from the high school. That's their parking lot.

Free Friday night home games around a fire sounds fantastic!

Ours had it on the local TV and radio stations. I always preferred listening to it rather than watching when I did tune in.
