    Very nice, sir!
    MarkG did a similar setup, minus the wall.

    I have about 6 chairs on this side and when people come over they always go to sit on wall. My friend that puts these in suggested we push fire pit closer towards wall cause every one always goes for that side. He was right.

    Just finished brushing sand in between the cracks Sunday before the rain set in.

    I like these guys...nice work.


    I’m wanting to do something similar, but I’m wanting to play a bit. I want to create a vortex in the fire and have some upper secondary air holes. I haven’t thought too much about it yet because I still have too many other projects going on. Almost certainly will dig a trench for under fire air supply and I’ll so I can get some good flames.

    One of my favorite activities. Captain and coke is also one of my go-to’s plus a stogie now and then. my fire out is not as nice though. It’s just 4 big logs laid around a bit of a hole in the center that we burn brush and the occasional piece of furniture in.

    We used to have a double mailbox quite similar to that. Rural route mail boxes all had to be on the north side of the street as the mail truck only made one pass. Now we have fancy smancy sidewalks, a bike lane and the mailman services in both directions, which gives the snow plows more targets. LOL.
