Another Project

For anyone who knows Ryan you know that he is a project guy. He is always doing some kind of home improvement or other kind of renovation. Some of the more recent projects have been our garden fence, completely taking down a travel trailer (that he built from scratch, another project of his) and hauling off all the scraps, a cat house/mansion, oh yeah and completely updating and landscaping our entire house.
Currently he is working on a fire pit. I was a little worried about this one. I think it will be really cool to have a fire pit where we can have fires (of course) but also big enough so that we can cook dutch oven in it. But I was generally worried about the size and location of it.


We talked about and agreed on this location behind out house. We do have a rather large back yard with a lot of location options but we wanted to take into consideration future projects. Because we have a huge list of them.

This is Ryan with his hole and foundation. The river rock was all recovered from our yard and saved specifically for this project. His plan is to use the forms that he made to build up sides with concrete and the rock.

I think it will look really cool when it is done. We have a bunch of flagstone that we got from our neighbors when Ryan took apart their fireplace in their basement. We are going to use it to lay around the pit so that we can have a sitting area. And if you can see the stump in the background, we are going to use that to make a table. It was an apple tree that was in our front yard that fell over. Hes just going to bury the roots and then he is going to build a top for it. Cool huh.


Anyway that is what he is working on now, Never mind that it is like 40 degrees outside. And if it looks big to you that's because it is. Really big. Hopefully it should be done in a week and I'll update you then.
