A HOT Home project

We had been talking about building a fire pit in the back yard, you know just a simple one dug out a little with a circle of rocks around it. Nothing too fancy. Then I came across this picture of a fire pit on Pinterest.

I really liked it and thought ..we could do something like that. How hard could it be?  So I showed it to my husband and he agreed it shouldn't be that hard. It wouldn't be something we would get done in one day but we could do it. And so After a couple days work, here is our version of the picture above.

I just wish I had gotten a picture before we started burning in it.
