this friday, the husband and i decided we wanted to build a fire pit. we had company on their way and figured it'd be a nice way to spend the night--outside, drinking, eating.
so we went to home depot and scoped out the materials we'd need. we picked up some sand, some rocks (i picked white marble because they were the prettiest), a whole lotta limestone concrete wall blocks (40, to be exact), and a wheelbarrow.
after loading them onto the cart. then into the truck. then out of the truck and into the backyard, we were ready to build. we laid out our pattern in home depot (10 per ring) so when we got home we laid ten out where we wanted. i used flour to mark the line around the blocks (with room for a perimeter of rocks) and jeremy got digging.
step 2: rocks.
step 3: sand
step 4: blocks.
(we meticulously checked that each block was level and used more sand underneath
to even them out)
we've got some supplies to return and one more bag of marble rocks to buy to finish it up.
but we were cookin' (literally) within a couple of hours.
seriously our favorite project yet.
Wooooohoooo
