Anne and Matt have been talking about a fire pit for quite a while. Last weekend we did some serious planning. Matt and I went to the Naples Aubuchon Hardware store and came back with 720 pounds (9 80-pound bags) of ready-mix concrete. Matt dug a circular trench for the foundation (the middle wants to have plain dirt under it for drainage) and mixed and poured the concrete. He and I went to a stone yard on Sunday; it was closed, but we wandered around and saw that there’s a big variety of stone available to build with.
Not all those trees are going to be left by the time we’re done with the project.
