Robotic lawnmowers, home saunas, grills and more: DIY expert reveals favorite backyard products

DIY expert Chip Wade showed off some of the finishing touches he put on his home in Chatsworth, Georgia.

For a "Fox & Friends Weekend" segment on July 22, Wade and his family were in their brand new backyard at their home in the mountains of Georgia. 

Over the past year, Wade has been building a house with the help of 3D rendering.

"And now he's finished," said co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy. (SEE the video at the top of this article for more.)

Wade explained that the key to a good backyard area is a "hardscape." He said he used pavers produced by Belgard on his patio, outdoor kitchen and fireplace.

"From modern to traditional, they've got everything, even design services," he said.

Wade then revealed both his cold plunge tub. 

"This thing is awesome," said Wade. "Next-level luxury." 

Some of the tubs have Bluetooth capability and spa-grade acrylic tubs, he said.

Wade's sauna was created by Saunafin, a company he said has been a leader in home saunas since the 1960s.

"They come in pre-fab kits," he said. "They have everything from traditional all the way to infrared saunas, even steam baths," he said. 

Wade explained that he assembled his sauna "in no time." 

Hanging in his backyard is an American flag — one made in the United States.

"Allegiance Flag Supply makes them right here in the USA, with American jobs. We love that," said Wade, noting the company also gives back to the military.

With his backyard done, Wade showed off his new M Grill, which he said was manufactured in "small batches." 

The crank feature of the grill means that a person is able to "dial in that control." 

"It insulates and keeps that consistent cook with this heavy-gauge steel," he said.

Turning to lawn care, Wade said that "everybody has been asking me about robotic lawnmowers."

Displaying an electric robotic lawnmower from Husqvarna, Wade said the product has "24-7 cutting, with ease and effortlessness," he said.

"Really, really great stuff. It just makes maintaining your property so much easier," he said.

Fifth bus of migrants arrives in Los Angeles from Texas

A fifth group of migrants carried on buses from Brownsville, Texas, arrived in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday as the Lone Star State continues to relocate migrants to big cities across the U.S.

About 48 migrants, including 18 minors, arrived in downtown Los Angeles late Saturday morning, Mayor Karen Bass' office said, according to Fox 11. The two buses arrived at Union Station at around 11:30 a.m.

"The city has continued to work with city departments, the county, and a coalition of nonprofit organizations, in addition to our faith partners, to execute a plan set in place earlier this year," Bass' office said in a statement. "As we have before, when we became aware of the bus yesterday, we activated our plan."

The migrants were transported to Cathedral High School after they arrived at Union Station. After the migrants were taken to the school, they were evaluated for any medical issues, provided food and given access to any other resources they needed, the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles told ABC 7. The group said most of the migrants have since been reunited with family.

TEXAS SENDS THIRD BUSLOAD OF MIGRANTS TO LOS ANGELES IN A MONTH

CHIRLA said many of the migrants have talked to officials and have already established asylum cases.

The first bus of migrants sent from Texas to Los Angeles arrived in the city back in June. Multiple relocations from Texas to Los Angeles have occurred in the weeks since, including over the Independence Day holiday weekend. 

The buses that arrived on Saturday were the third set of buses to arrive in the city in the last 10 days. The last buses before Saturday arrived on Tuesday.

TEXAS SENDS ANOTHER MIGRANT BUS TO LOS ANGELES CHURCH AHEAD OF JULY 4TH

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has claimed responsibility for the migrant relocations. Texas began sending buses of migrants to several sanctuary cities last year, including New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C. The leaders of these cities, which had committed to protecting illegal immigrants and not enforcing federal immigration laws, have said in recent months that they do not have the resources to take in more migrants

Abbott has previously said that Texas will continue to relocate migrants to these cities until the federal government fixes the immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.
