Move It Outside, Pt. 5: Spiral Staircase and Fire Pit Jay Baker and the Move It Outside crew finish up the backyard transformation with the installation of an outdoor spiral staircase and fire pit. From "Move It Outside" episode DMIO-105

Jennifer and Kurt Taser are preparing for a huge family reunion by transforming their backyard into an outdoor oasis with the help of several new outdoor additions, some hard-working contractors and a thousand-gallon tank of propane.

In this final installment of DIY's Move It Outside, Kurt and Jennifer Taser realize that their guests can't access the downstairs and the great projects they are installing without going through the house. To solve that problem they decide install an exterior spiral staircase.

In another project, they add a lake side propane fueled outdoor fire-pit. Kurt, Jennifer and the crew just barely finish in time as their guests begin arriving for the family reunion.
