Happy Half Birthday to me! Yay! I know I say this every year, but it’s customary on someone’s half birthday to tell them how awesome they are.
The bamboo roots are out, and I’m finally making some progress on the actual firepit plot. I started by laying some flagstone pavers. I was putting them on a slanted area, so it was either dig one side in or build one side up. I decided to build up. It took a lot of dirt and a lot of sand, but the flagstones are flat and even looking. I hope they stay that way.
BEFORE ANY WORK:
PAVERS IN PLACE:
The previous owner left cement blocks around the storm drain in my back yard. More free materials! Woo hoo! I used them to build the fire area. After getting the base materials in place, I really wanted to get to the walls of the firepit. I built the first level, then tore it apart, then started building it again, then had to stop. I’m glad I’m putting it off for another day. Building the firepit walls is the funnest part!
FIRE PIT BASE:
It’s a fantastic start! I’m so impressed, and bow in the presence of your awesomivity*.
Just a thought for when this thing is done. Fry up some bacon, pour the bacon grease into a can filled with paper towels, then burn the paper towels. They just keep burning and burning and burngin.
*Spell check is trying to tell me that ‘awesomivity’ is not a word, and I’m trying to tell spell check ‘use your imagination, you rigid Nazi’.
An awesome project by an awesome dude.
You’re not just awesome. You’re awefull.
