    Now that's a fire ring. That's got to be 4-5' across easy.
    No problem keeping warm on a cool night with a decent blaze going there. I like it

    I was expecting to see the stump getting burned in place. Pulling stumps is too much work.

    For sure that is a lot of hard work but you turned it into a real winner.

    Awesome utilization of that space, PMP!
    While I like the firepit sign posted above, I'm kinda partial to THIS sign....

    Looks like you got sandy soil there, mine is clay and a hole like that would be another water collector here. Nice job!

    You have that one right Jack. One of the advantages of sand.
