That looks great. What'd you use for the fire source?
Getting ready to go up and install two pedestal sinks and a toilet. After that, all I will have left is some misc. caulking on the trim, and hanging the mirrors/shelves/towel racks. Looks great so far, can't wait to post up the before and after pics!
The fire source is propane. The tank is dropped down in the center of the table, and that's connected to a pan that sits in that hole. I then through some lava rock on top and put a circle of white marble rock around the edge for character. There's a knob that I installed just under the top of the table to turn the propane on and off as well as control the flow. Simply light the top with a grill lighter and you have fire. I'm quite pleased with the end result.
If you do propane on a table like this, make sure that you put MULTIPLE ventilation holes at the base of the table. Apparently if you don't have those holes, tables have been known to blow up.
Note to self: don't blow up the table... :-"
Marines and fire :wall: ... bad combo :blkeye: ... we have previous proof and a new crash test dummy
... this will not end well, trust me. :-"
For those of you looking to build your own PC:
http://pcpartpicker.com/
That link isn't the be-all, end-all, but it is a fantastic start. It shows compatibility issues and allows you to filter by a number of parameters and the columns can be sorted. You can create an account, store your builds, and/ or view other member's builds which are pretty good features (you don't need an account to use the site). It links to vendors, but obviously it can only do so much in that department. The takeaway on prices is that you might find a better deal elsewhere. To that end:
http://www.pricewatch.com/
Here you can price just about anything.
If you are willing to spend some time on both sites, you could spec out a PC for just about any application out there: HTPC, gaming, etc. You can also compare prices to your local shops or big box stores to see if you are saving any money by going that route.

Previous proof???Marines and fire :wall: ... bad combo :blkeye: ... we have previous proof and a new crash test dummy
You have no faith! The only variable in the safety of the fire pit, is the copious amounts of alcohol that are consumed around it. Other then that, it's safe. I think.
Ask 0699... he's the proof... why do you think we keep matches away from Marines?
0699, Now I'm curious.
My main fear was that after playing around with tons of explosives throughout my military career and walking away mostly unscathed, that I would blow myself up in my own backyard. So far so good though...
It involves a building being burned out, but I still claim it wasn't completely my fault...
Mostly your fault is good enough for me... the annual match inventory has been started.... post the pics of the flame producing items in the inventory and on hand receipts.
I have been given an air still by my friend who is moving to AU + a fermenting bucket plus I found a small bucket of molasses at...the brew shop (they didn't have it on their website). So tonight the fermenting process will start, monitored closely. I doubt that the air still will produce any decent results but it's worth giving it a shot anyway and to learn the rest of the process. Pictures to follow.
I will likely either buy a pot still or, God forbid, try building one myself once I've got things down pat and I know I want to go on with it.

The pics from the renovations we have done, I couldn't fit the "before" pics on here though
