Fire Pit

We have been wanting to have a fire pit in our yard but weren't really sure what it involved or how to go about making one, not that it is rocket science. I spoke with the fire marshal and he said that making a fire in a pit would not require a burn permit, and making one is really just taking some rocks and setting them up in a ring.

Then, just start a fire inside. Somehow, it all sounds so easy, but I manage to make things more complicated. We had lots of rocks leftover from the excavators making the septic system, and together we managed to make the ring.

We then started a small and manageable fire, with the hose at the ready, and it was a lot of fun. Who needs TV? Plus, the kids to get to play with fire under controlled and safe conditions, and did they ever have a blast. Best of all, they were very thoughtful about being careful, and I was able to get some work done outside while not being too far away.

Plus, we now have a fire pit to just hang out around or roast marshmallows over. We have enough wood, so fuel won't be a problem.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Asif Akbar for the pic.
