The indoor fireplace will be turned off from May15-Oct 15. If you decide to build a fire outside of that time, please use the metal bucket outside of the house for the ash when you are done. Don’t forget to open the flue! (Reach in and up into the fireplace, grab the metal lever, pull towards you for open, push back for closed) 

To build a fire in the fireplace please follow these steps:

Step 1: Make sure the chimney flue draft is opened, so you can get some airflow up the chimney (and not out into the room).

Step 2: Gather your tinder/kindling materials and make a loose pile in the very back of the fireplace.

Step 3: Stack your wood around the kindling in a teepee shape. Don’t put too much in because you want air flowing under and around the sticks, so they’ll ignite and stay lit.

Step 4: Light the kindling, and (if needed) blow on the fire gently. Then slightly open a window, or otherwise to ensure you have fresh air coming into the room to replace what the fire is using up.

Step 5: Tend it by adding more wood as the existing sticks collapse.

Step 6: Never leave an open fire unattended

The outdoor electric grill can be used all year. Please do not burn wood or other foreign materials, and never leave it unattended.

The landscaper comes the 4th Monday of the month to clean up around the patios, driveway, and yard areas.
