Lawn maintenance concerns aside, I'm pretty proud of what I created out of a pile of extra retaining wall bricks that have been lying around in my backyard for several years. Overhead cost for me: $0.
The most exciting news is that my wife and I enjoyed its inaugural late night fire within hours after completing it and there were no exploding rocks as I had previous feared. My wife and I don't have any holes anywhere about our bodies that we did not have prior to the lighting of the wood placed in the middle.
Hooray for safety!

My ongoing project for this summer was to built a two-tiered, 45-foot retaining wall with steps out of versa-loc blocks (82 pounds each). I managed to get the first wall completed over the summer and I'm starting to lay the bricks for the second one. Once completed, I'll be adding a fire pit somewhere in the yard that will look similar to yours.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very roundabout way of saying that I very much like your pit and I look forward to having my own.
