Farm Project #19 -- New Fire Pit

 Farm Project #19: New Fire Pit

This one is cosmetic but has been waiting on the lower part of the list for a long while.  Here is the old fire pit, back by the covered deck built onto the rear of the detached garage.

I drove the van to Menards in La Crosse and picked up 36 retention wall bricks and the steel fire pit.  That was the easy part.  Here's how many rocks of various sizes that have served to line the circumference of the pit over the years.

It took some digging and some leveling, but I got three rows of 12, buttered up with adhesive and stacked to allow the top tier to fit just under the flange of the fire pit ring.  The cracks between blocks can be filled in later with grout sand and maybe I can even get it in red.  We'll see.

Look how nice it is!
