The Fire Pit

6.11.2008

I probably should have started out with a posting about our housing arrangement, but I will get to that later. We are new home owners who have decided to put a fire pit in our back yard. Here is a little photo tour to bring you up to date with the work:

Rotatilling the Area

Work in Progress
We actually have done a bit more (laying the first row of bricks, getting most the stained glass pieces in place and starting to sand in between all the stones) and have pics to go with it. This blog post will be a work in progress.

Update - The Final Photos at Last!

Oh my GOODNESS! What a super cool fire pit... And a LOT of work. Wow. I didn't know you both were so crafty! I'll have to show this to Todd.

Abbey if it had been left to me it woulda been a hole in the ground with MAYBE some cement. My wife Joy and house mate Risa get the claim for pushing to make it fancy.
