RE: Taming the Wild West: Building our First Fire Pit
Wow, that's awesome! You clearly put a lot of work into it. I know the leveling process can be painstaking work, but it looks like it turned out really well. You should be able to enjoy that for years to come! :D
thanks for the kind words! about half way through I was cussing up a storm and wondering why I was doing this ( leveling every brick to every other brick) ... but in the end I was really happy that we did it - it could have been done with a lot more ease if I would have just bought 4 more bags of sand and laid down a level surface first like I did in the center....... but you live and learn - I didn't want to go back to the store and deal with it so we made due ... all in all I am happy with how it turned out and we do plan to use it for years to come so I think we will get our money'sworth out of it...we got to break it in the first night with my father in law and some guests and we all had a blast.
I know the feeling of just wanting to get on with it. You've already been to the store 10 times and you just want to get it done, so you take even longer just pushing forward... but at least you're working on it. And now any time someone comes over for a fire, you can tell them that you built it!
