(It's either this or make a pan of brownies
and we all know I'm trying to avoid that these days.)
Are you ready for something amazing? Something so fantastic you can hardly stand it? This is re-purposing at it's finest. I'm talking about the Queen Mother of Fabulous Projects.
Project: Firepit & Patio
Supplies: Old tractor tire rim, Old concrete, Tractor, Shovel,
Sledgehammer & People who really love you &
your wild ideas
Cost: Blood, Sweat & Tears
bring in piles of concrete with the tractor,
take a sledgehammer to it,
break it into big pieces
bring in old tractor tire rim (also with tractor),
dig a hole for the tire rim
(NOT with the tractor)
dig out the grass and start placing the concrete
work in progress
(actually a lot of work)
almost done
bring in more dirt to fill in the cracks
TAH-DAH!
victory is ours!
the first fire
followed quickly with a cookout
Our new patio & fire pit.
Isn't she a beauty?
Who's coming over for smores & a little star gazing?
I am seriously in love with this project.
I admire it a minimum of 800 times a day.

That is super cool. We love firepits and ours always begin with ghetto supplies, but usually remain that way. Yours, on the other hand...nice work!
That is amazing! For reals.
That is seriously cool! I love it. I need one of those in my backyard!
I'm grabbing the marshmallows and heading out the door. be there in, say, 8 or 9 hours ish.
Seriously. You rock. I love it! and I love all of your handy "pioneer" ideas. I need you to instill that in me. Big time. I'm also extremely jealous of your view. It all just about makes me cry with envy. I really might stop by for some smores and star gazing!!
Love, love, love it. Way to go and a gold star for making something out of nothing.
That is amazing. Digging holes is never as easy as it looks is it? Also, attacking concrete with sledgehammers is only therapeutic for 3 minutes.
As always AMAZING! Isn't it time to move back yet? I miss my friend.
Looks wonderful - you guy are great.
That's really cool. And I really love the orange chair.
